“…Modi et al [25] established a decision support system of surface traffic control to assist in ground-based traffic control and realize route planning for aircraft taxiing to decrease the delay at airports. Postorino et al [26] improved the taxi-out process of aircraft through element-by-element method to reduce the CO 2 emission. Xu et al [27] determined the pollutant emission parameters in the taxi-in and taxi-out stages of landing and takeoff of aircraft by using the Aircraft Communication Addressing and Reporting System dataset.…”

“…Slot management refers to planning of flight departure and arrival times. Many-a-while, flight delays occur, or flight times are extended because there is much traffic on ground for take-off, taxiing and landing [22]. In case of Kathmandu airport, the problem lies in airport bays for aircraft turn around which leads to holding while arriving at the airport.…”

This paper deals with evaluation and analysis of carbon footprint of an airline operator, Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) by using its actual flight and maintenance data from 2016 to 2019. NAC is a multi-fleet operator, of both turboprop and turbofan aircrafts. Carbon footprint in terms of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emission has been calculated for NAC’s airline operations per individual aircraft, fleet-type and operating sector (i.e., international and domestic), and total ground handling operations. In each of the study years, contribution to NAC’s total CO2 production from its domestic fleet was found out to be very small (below 6% of yearly total), even though its fleet number outnumbered that of international fleet. This indicates better optimization opportunities for international-sector (turbofan) aircrafts than domestic-sector (turboprop) aircrafts. Reductions in fuel on-board as per prescribed levels, better airport slot management and selection of long-haul flight destinations have been identified as potential mitigation strategies for CO2 emission from international sector. Smaller aircrafts operating in domestic sectors are more prone to variations in occupancy rate and as such, NAC could focus on optimizing its commercial strategy to improve its CO2/passenger rate in domestic sector.

“…Yang et al (2018) analysed the emission characteristics of aircraft and air quality impacts of Beijing Capital International Airport that is the world’s second busiest airport. Postorino et al (2019) investigated aircraft taxi operation to minimize CO 2 emissions and recommend certain precautions for managing airport operations. Ekici and Şöhret (2020) analysed the environmental impact of commercial flight induced exhaust emissions at Isparta Süleyman Demirel Airport for 2018 and determined that the environmental impact and environmental cost reached their peak in March.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to present the pollutant gas produced by hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) and the quantity of fuel burned from commercial aircraft at Ordu-Giresun International Airport, Turkey during the landing and take-off (LTO) cycles in 2017. Design/methodology/approach The flight data recorded by the General Directorate of State Airports Authority and the aircraft engine emission data from International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Engine Exhaust Emission Databank were used for calculation. The aircraft and engine types used by the airlines for flight at Ordu-Giresun International Airport were determined. To evaluate the effect of taxi time on emission amounts, analysis and evaluations were made by taking different taxi times into consideration. Findings As a result of the emission analysis, the amount of fuel consumed by the aircraft were calculated as 6,551.52 t/y, and the emission amounts for CO, HC and NOx were estimated as 66.81, 4.20 and 79.97 t/y, respectively. Practical implications This study is aimed to reveal the effect and contribution of taxi time on the emitted emission at the airport during the LTO phase of the aircraft. Originality/value This study helps aviation authorities explain the importance of developing procedures that ensure the delivery of aircraft to flights in minimum time by raising awareness of the impact of taxi time on emitted emissions, and contributes to the determination of an aircraft emission inventory at Ordu-Giresun International Airport.
