1. Abstract: Building the third runway is a controversial issue during these days. Do you think Hong Kong should build it or not? There are still different opinions from different people. Therefore, it is critical to know how the importance of building the third runway nowadays. Since Hong Kong’s aviation position is getting challenge by the airport nearby, enhancing the position for Hong Kong is very urgent for facing those challenges. Thus, I would like to find out how important is the building third runway for enhancing the Hong Kong’s aviation position thought this research project such as reasons, actual usage. I will conduct a questionnaire that use to get those information. After having all the data, then I will start to …show more content…
[Ref:MosheGivoni and David Banister (2008)] But Due to the capacity constraints Heathrow Airport ranking in 2010 dropped to 7th that behind Frankfurt, Pairs and Amsterdam, Munich, Rome and Madrid airport[Ref: Moshe Givoni and David Banister (2008)] It means that if the capacity is not enough to handle the future demand, that will affect the position of the airport. Therefore, it is crucial to handle the future capacity of the airport at this moment to keep enhancing the Hong Kong aviation position.
According to the Hong Kong International Airport Master Plan 2030, Air connectivity is the mainly reason for Hong Kong to maintain or enhance the attractiveness and competitive advantage on the global economic and financial stage.[Ref: Chinese General Chamber of Commerce (2011-8-17)]. Building the third runway can be improve the air connectivity that result in enhance the competitive advantage with the other airports. It also enhances the airport’s position.
According to the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) internet Shipping Gazette, Hong Kong International Airport is a major international aviation hub, since it starts running in 1998, it has been effectively promote Hong Kong's economic development.[Ref: Peter Rooke and Michael H. Wiehen (1999)] But near the maximum capacity of the airport runway, if it not build a new runway, passenger route network will be lost to other airports Also it will lose
4. High wind shears that will exist were the runways are placed affect airport design.
Denver’s geographic location and the growing size of its population and commerce made it an attractive location for airline hubbing operations. There was a growth on the determination of the “ pro New Airport”.
Following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack, airport security has received considerable attention from the government as well expect in the aviation industry. The damages that transpired following the attack have remained fresh in the minds of peace loving citizens. In fact, security has become everybody’s business because a security lapse in the aviation industry paralyzes various sector of the economy. Today, the government has encouraged redesigning of the airport with much consideration given to security. The new concerns in the wake of 9/11 terrorist attack propose integration of security into airport design and planning. Although the airports may not accommodate redesigning of the general layout, critics agree that an
The identified dis-benefits of the plan in section 2 are not always eliminated but can be reduced to the acceptable level standardised by regulating bodies such as International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). Every stakeholders of the airport must consider sustainability of the environment while planning for future because a careless actions at the present may have huge negative impact on the social, environmental and economic aspect in the future.
Furthermore, in this article will be discussed the main issues related to the possibility of increasing airport taxes to be determined by the Hong Kong authority. As Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) is one of the busiest airports and the government cannot possibly build new airport due to the area limitation of Hong Kong, the authority will build an additional runway (3rd runway), and it will impact to the airport operational costs. Finally, the Hong Kong Government will raise taxes to the airlines, and it will be a problem for HK Express as the only low-fare airline in Hong Kong.
With the rapid growth of commercial air travel in the 1970s, the FAA recognized that the nation’s airports contributed significantly to the national economy and international commerce, as well as being a critical mode of transport for the public. Airports needed funding to improve safety and maintain airport infrastructure such as runways, taxiways, NAVAIDS, and land acquisition. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) formed the National Airport System Plan (NASP) to ensure these significant airports received Federal grants to make these improvements. The FAA revised the NASP with the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982 and called the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) to reflect the further expansion.
In addition, buying shares in other major UK and Australian airports and the development of ground transport interchange to help public arrive using public transports and check more efficiently and quickly.
The aviation industry of any nation acts as a contributor to its economic growth, helps in globalisation and creating an international image. It is the best in terms of the fastest, safest and convenient mode of travel. Even though it is an expensive one, it is expanding its markets across the middle-class who are ready to spent money on leisure trips. Thus it is truly stated that aviation forms a vital core infrastructure area without which a country economy is handicapped.
The main objective behind the Automatic baggage handling system was to reduce the delay of luggage transportation and passenger waiting time at the baggage carousel. Key stake holders for every project are Project manager, consumers, Performing organizations, PMO, Project team members, Project Management team, Project sponsors and influences (PMI, 2004) .For this project clients were the Airlines and passengers. Performing organization i.e. Airport authorities also got affected by the project; as the project was failure they suffered during the managing the travelers on the airport. Project management team led by Walter slinger was one of stakeholder of this project. The
In my personal view, the construction of new international airport may will benefits Airlines, Homeland, Carpenters, Workers Organization, Electricians, Machine Operators, Government Agencies, Contractors, Politicians, Business Leaders and Design Architect. I am strongly saying this, because the people categorized under this group are mostly graduated with a better qualification. Even there are certain group people still looking for chances for grow up in their living lifestyle. This construction will provide a better job to all of umployees and it may will be a strong fundamental beginning of their carrier as well.
China has a rapidly growing aviation sector from 2600 aircraft to 4500 in the next five years (GTIN, 2011)
3). Airport design has always been an important part of any renovation project or new construction, yet even more light has been shed on this part of the process as the A380 and future models will require larger gates, bigger hangers and improved baggage-collection and passenger transport services. Yeaman states that “due to the aircraft’s high passenger volume…gate hold rooms may have to double in size, concourses need to be widened and capacity of ticket processing and customs areas may need to be expanded” (2001, p. 4).
In this essay, a brief discussion of causes to Heathrow T5’s issues will be given based on the model of project iron triangle. What’s more, theories from project planning and scheduling and risk management will be introduced to have a specific evaluation on the issues. A conclusion will be reflected at the end of the essay as to review the evaluated issues.
While the airport offers aircrafts operate to park, enplane, deplane, refuel, load and unload, airlines pay for using gates and obtain rights to use the facilities from airports. In this paper, the ground
The airfield of Sydney Airport has been modified and expanded in response to traffic growth and changes to aircraft size and fleet mix. The airfield is inclusive of parallel runways along with the east-west runway, north-south runway, aircraft parking as well as taxiways. The north-south runway, the parallel runway and the east-west runway is 3,962, 2,438 and 2,530 meters long respectively. ILS (Instrument Landing Systems) are established through all runways, whereas north-south runways are equipped with HIAL, i.e. High Intensity Approach Lighting. The parallel runways are supported by RETs, i.e. Rapid Exit Taxiways to diminish occupancy time. In order to facilitate the efficient movement of aircraft between terminals and runways, a taxiway system is linked to the runways.
