Airport Choice
No full textThis chapter discusses the factors influencing the tourist choice of airport. The initial section introduces the concepts associated with leisure travel, life stage, tourism trip type, and aviation choices. The airport context is then summarised. Underpinning methodologies that can determine choice for air transport applications are reviewed, before discussion on a series of themes relating to air transport applications that have a focus on airport choice for tourists: the role of airport catchment areas, airport region strategic planning, and possible impacts of technology development.No Full Tex

No full textGreen Aviation. Reduction of environmental impact through aircraft technology and alternative fuels. Emily S. Nelson & Dhanireddy R. Reddy. Leiden, The Netherlands: CRC Press. £170.00 (Hardback), £35.99 (eBook). ISBN: 978-0-415-62098-7 (Hardback), ISBN: 978-0-203-11996-9 (eBook)
No full textThis book immediately grabs the attention the reader with the green aviation title, pertinent with the topical and relevant challenge of making air transportation environmentally sustainable. It is split into two parts. The first covers the environmental impacts from aviation. The second part, aligning with the title, considers the two impacts of aircraft technology and the use of alternative fuels.
Naturally such as topic has a future-focused approach. Accordingly, the Preface has an appropriate initial starting point of three future time periods: short (around 10 years), mid (around 20 years) and long (around 30 years). A longer-term perspective is required to achieve green aviation, given the timeframe for significant environmental impacts from aircraft technology and alternative fuels. For aircraft technology, in the short-term there will not be a change in the conventional architecture. In the medium-term there may be blended-wing technology, but only in the long-term is there likely to be new propulsion body. For alternative fuels, although “drop-in” fuels may be used in existing aircraft engines, greener replacements are longer-term.No Full Tex
Evolution of International Aviation. Phoenix Rising, 3rd Edition (Book Review)
No full textThese two Ashgate books represent a useful addition to the increasing number of aviation publications. Given the many changes experienced by the aviation industry in recent times, there is a need to both update existing aviation literature and develop publications in new areas. Rhoades (2014) would come under the former category, a third edition text book that has evolved following events such as 9/11 and the impacts on the industry of the Global Financial Crisis. Taneja (2014) comes under the latter category, exploring the design of future-orientated airlines businesses in response to contemporary aviation industry challenges.No Full Tex
