AIRPORT FLIGHT
OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION AND STATE
OF ART
Airports have a series of operations which are linked to provide a
defined range of operations for facilitating sustainability in to
integrated efforts all across the provided segments.
Beijing capital international airport has been evident in order to
facilitate a sustainable development across its operational
dimensions and has enormous opportunities to improve this further

IMPACTS OF SUSTAINABLE
AVIATION
The sustainable approaches for water consumption has led to a
drastic fall in the per capita water requirement at the airport.
Between the years 2012 and 2015, a significant reduction of 10.6%
has been reported in the per capita water consumption across the
airport operations (Scmp.com, 2019).
Beijing capital international airport is the only airport to operate in
accordance with the available UN sustainability segments.
Sustainability aspects related to wastewater treatment and indoor
air quality are significantly up to the national mark

CONTD…
A significant reduction of 10.6% has been reported in the per capita
water consumption across the airport operations.
Increased awareness among visitors
Enhancement in global appreciation as a green airport which is
ideal for driving positive investment and influence for the airport.
It is liable to integrate positive effects for applicable social
behaviors integrated with the airport operations.

ADVANCEMENTS IN THE
STATE OF ART
Airport’s main construction
Aviation oil facilities
Air traffic control
High speed railways
To minimize the environmental footprints, an unusual design
comprising of a single passenger landing area is taken in to
consideration (Koç and Durmaz, 2015).

CONTD…
Enhancements in the connectivity factors across the nearby 28
cities through a sound transportation system
The availability of sufficient corridors for flight landing can be
evident in order to justify the growth potential across the selected
channels of passenger and cargo movements (Ferrulli, 2016).
The newly developed airport facility is having five traditionally
styled gardens for passenger’s waiting possibilities which is a major
addition in the sustainability possibilities for the environmental
conditions.

BENEFITS ASSOCIATED WITH
ADVANCES
Huge economic growth for the southern suburbs and transform it in
to a super city.
Highly helpful in limiting the environment degradation aspects for
the airport operations and is capable of driving a better approach
for including environmental sustainability
Supportive framework for long term developments of the country
Effective transportation

CONTD…
Increased efficient movement of goods and people can provide a
more opportunistic approach for business expansion across the
region.
The connectivity driven railways are liable to provide job
opportunities to the local population which is mostly the farmer
population (Weiszer et al. 2015).
The sustainable construction approaches are capable of
strengthening its the airport carbon accreditation scheme.
Availability of a globally recognized air traffic can led to
development of global culture across the region.

CHALLENGES
Availability of significant economic reforms based on market
analytics.
The increase in infrastructural development as a possible means for
growth ideology is a much overrated development factor which is
associated with these developments.
The investments made under this project are highly ambitious and
based on analysis but if things don’t go as expected, there can
some important financial issues arising with the high end
investment put together for this project (Cambridge.org, 2019).

CONTD…
Limited usage of non-renewable energy sources across the
provided framework for environmental causes.
Management of commercial airlines in accordance with the high
end military dominance in the Chinese airspace.
Educating visitors and guiding them for enhanced developments in
terms of energy conservation and waste management (Vurmaz and
Boyacioglu, 2018).
Providing adequate training possibilities for the engaged workforce
in order to conduct better operations for availing sustainable
approaches.

CONCLUSION
The overall growth potential associated with the Beijing capital
international airport and its newly developed progressive projects
are quite sustainable and based on specified analysis.
The operability index is also linked to promote a more suitable
conditions for the international aviation industry transformations.
The process is supported by a series of possibilities in context of
practicing environmental friendly attributes are also explained in
this assessment.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Development of sufficient awareness for the involved staffs and
crew members for enabling first-hand practices of sustainable
development.
Applying adequate strategies for achieving uniform standard,
regulation and procedure for operating under the aviation industry
(Baxter et al. 2018).
Development of a community satisfying condition across the
operational dimensions of the airport.
