Schiphol
• Noise– KE contour =>– Lden in points and Total Volume of Sound =>
– Total of points (??)
• Risk– Numbers of houses inside 10-5, 10-6, 10-7, 10-6 and societal
risk– Summed weighed risk– Numbers of houses inside 10-6 and total risk weight– Numbers of houses inside 10-6 (+ 30%)
• Airpollution– Air traffic + road traffic (masks air)
• Odour– Given up
AotF20060330|
Perceptions
• Perceptions are facts.• And if perceptions are not facts people act on them
and these actions are facts.• Or create facts.• Perceptions are difficult to change.• Because they are part of the basic survival
mechanism.
AotF20060330|
In the mean time
• Population around the airport gave up– Does not trust airport– Does not trust authorities
• Went through several committees, all dismantled• And the airport grows further

What do we have to assume?
• Continued growth?– Physical limitations– What about fuel costs
• Or develop into a station in a network– With limited capacity– But share with others
• Or are the fuel prices going to do us in• Or competition?

Why are we here??
Just enough fuel No more problem

Pricing Amsterdam – New York
Why would a 2000 km detour be CHEAPER?

Think European ?
There are not enough Dutchman to fill all the aircraft

•There is a limit to every growth model•Public transport system•No unnecessary moves•You do not have to be a hub to be connected•An airport city is NOT a CITY

This is not a city
It is an industrial area

New solutions ?
• If there is a shortage to capacity– You can be selective
On risk and noise
– And other airports are collegues In solving the long-range transport problems Rather than the competintion
• If you are an airport– You do in airtraffc– Which is not the same as real estate– Or a shopping centre

New mind set !
• An airport is primarily a station/node in a public transport network
• Providing a service against reasonable costs• And as little burden to its surroundings as possible• You do not want to be visible• You want to be INVISIBLE
– (sort of)
AotF20060330|
Government attitude is changing (slowly)• Use to be promotor of air-traffic and airport
development• Increasing burden
– Not only environment– But also use of space– And traffic congestion
• Treat as any other industry• Many existing privileges will disappear • Especially after the next accident.

AotF20060330|
New solutions ?
• Recognise the problems– Noise, risk, air pollution
• Treat air traffic as an industry– Providing transport
• And airports as industrial zones• Take people seriously
– Keep away if you can– Treat them fairly if you cannot– Buying them off is only temporary solution
• They are ALSO your customers• And voters

Opportunities ?
• 90% of communication between people is non-verbal: see/smell/feel: people need to be in close contact
• More people more transport• Global world gives more transport needs• Electronic connectivity increases need for face to
face contact (ie transport)• Flying is public/mass transport
