Problems everywhere • Frankfurt • Paris • Le Bourget • Orly • Charles de Gaulle • Londen • Zurich • And Schiphol
21 03 This is what we normally regulate
An airport attracts activities Offices Airport Industry Shops Houses
But its effects • Risk • Noise • Air pollution • Traffic congestion
Need space Offices Airport Industry People Shops Houses
Vicious circle Offices Airport Industry People Shops Houses
? Muddling through NEW New zones New limits New Regulatory Systems Solutions Problems OLD
Schiphol • Noise • KE contour => • Lden in points and Total Volume of Sound => • Total of points (??) • Risk • Numbers of houses inside 10-5, 10-6, 10-7, 10-6 and societal risk • Summed weighed risk • Numbers of houses inside 10-6 and total risk weight • Numbers of houses inside 10-6 (+ 30%) • Airpollution • Air traffic + road traffic (masks air) • Odour • Given up
Perceptions • Perceptions are facts. • And if perceptions are not facts people act on them and these actions are facts. • Or create facts. • Perceptions are difficult to change. • Because they are part of the basic survival mechanism.
In the mean time • Population around the airport gave up • Does not trust airport • Does not trust authorities • Went through several committees, all dismantled • And the airport grows further
What do we have to assume? • Continued growth? • Physical limitations • What about fuel costs • Or develop into a station in a network • With limited capacity • But share with others • Or are the fuel prices going to do us in • Or competition?
Just enough fuel No more problem Why are we here??
Amsterdam – New York Why would a 2000 km detour be CHEAPER? Pricing
Think European ? There are not enough Dutchman to fill all the aircraft
Rethink the airport NEW • There is a limit to every growth model • Public transport system • No unnecessary moves • You do not have to be a hub to be connected • An airport city is NOT a CITY ! Solutions Problems OLD
This is not a city It is an industrial area
With an aircraft in the sky This is a city
NEW ! Solutions Problems OLD
New solutions ? • If there is a shortage to capacity • You can be selective • On risk and noise • And other airports are collegues • In solving the long-range transport problems • Rather than the competintion • If you are an airport • You do in airtraffc • Which is not the same as real estate • Or a shopping centre
New mind set ! • An airport is primarily a station/node in a public transport network • Providing a service against reasonable costs • And as little burden to its surroundings as possible • You do not want to be visible • You want to be INVISIBLE • (sort of)
Government attitude is changing (slowly) • Use to be promotor of air-traffic and airport development • Increasing burden • Not only environment • But also use of space • And traffic congestion • Treat as any other industry • Many existing privileges will disappear • Especially after the next accident.
New solutions ? • Recognise the problems • Noise, risk, air pollution • Treat air traffic as an industry • Providing transport • And airports as industrial zones • Take people seriously • Keep away if you can • Treat them fairly if you cannot • Buying them off is only temporary solution • They are ALSO your customers • And voters
Opportunities ? • 90% of communication between people is non-verbal: see/smell/feel: people need to be in close contact • More people more transport • Global world gives more transport needs • Electronic connectivity increases need for face to face contact (ie transport) • Flying is public/mass transport
To hear him fly The End It has to be silent
