Airport Safety

Aerodromes evolving in constrained environments, it is sometimes difficult for an airport to grow while meeting the design standards used in airport planning. In this case, safety studies have to be produced by the aerodrome operator, aiming at demonstrating that new aircraft can be accommodated on the platform without questioning the safety of operations.

Grass management at airports

Airport operators are responsible for maintaining their green spaces, which are mainly grassland, with the primary objective of ensuring safe operations. This includes ensuring visibility of lighting, managing animal risks, or providing access for RFFS.

AIRPORTS AND BIODIVERSITY

Although airport sites are classified as industrial zones by the European "Corine Landcover" reference system, on average over 75% of them consist of green spaces. Therefore, airports are home to a significant number of ordinary or remarkable habitats and species, some of which may be protected or of heritage interest.
