Relevance of Aerodrome Planning

Abstract

It is a fact that aviation plays a huge role in today's world. Continents, states and even small villages are networked to each other, allowing people all over the world to travel for different purposes. In this regard, states are connected by 3250 airports. 1 Hence, different cultures come together, thus flattening the path for a more liberal atmosphere, that will contribute to the improvement of global peace. Not only sociological advantages derive from aviation, but also global economic benefits. Business travellers can travel from any point in the world to another in less than 24 h. As a consequence, economic processes are accelerating, leading to a positive impact on market growth. The aviation industry profits from a rise in jobs in the air transport sector and its supply chain. 2 Currently, 65 million jobs and $2.7 trillion in global GDP are supported through aviation. 3 Airport DevelopmentMarket forecasts prove that air traffic will double within the upcoming 15 years. 4 Due to the catastrophe of 9/11, global passenger traffic declined by 2.7% compared to the year 2000. 5 Since then, air transport has doubled until 2017 with a 60% growth
