Abstract
Meeting the demand for increased mobility, airports are adapting their infrastructure, but face the challenge of controlling their emissions in the light of the EU air quality standards. A possible way out is a joint and combined approach where the various aviation industry partners (airports, airlines, manufacturers and service providers) team up to develop and implement comprehensive mitigation programmes. Such programmes could include technological, regulatory, operational and economic measures alike.
Keywords: local air quality; legal compliance; mitigation options; industry cooperation
