CRITERIA FOR THE SITING OF MAJOR AIRPORTS

There are comparatively few mandatory standards involved in airport location criteria, leaving a substantial area where all factors need to be weighed and compared against each other. This involves trade-offs between factors, some of which may be measured and valued and some of which remain more intangible. The techniques involved in such comparisons must incorporate both the physical and social sciences. The paper then considers four important criteria of airport location; noise, surface access, urbanization, and planning.
