AotF |      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?

AotF |      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)

AotF |      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.

AotF |      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
