Analyse potential measures to establish a global air transport system with optimized aircraft, network and frequency reductions.
A number of measures, such as e.g. the introduction of potential incentives dependent on the amount of “avoidable” CO2 emissions, similar to emissions trading, will be identified in close cooperation with the relevant stakeholders.
The impact on the relevant stakeholders will be determined qualitatively using methods from System Dynamics.
Define potential measures
Qualitative analysis of potential measures

Develop a general methodology to identify the implementation of the alternative scenario and their impact to stakeholders in terms of environment, social, mobility, access, capacity, and technical feasibility
Apply and process data sets provided by WP1 and WP2, prepare and conduct impact analysis using validated assessment models/tools.
Define metrics for impact assessment
Impact assessment for stakeholder groups:
● Airports (noise, local air quality, capacity)
● Passengers (travel time, ticket prices)
● Airlines (operation planning and costs)
● Aircraft manufacturers (fleet requirements and composition)
3.1 – Define metrics for impact assessment
3.2 – Impact assessment for airports
3.3 Impact assessment for air transport system
D3 – Report on potential impacts on stakeholders
MS6 – Impact assessment results as an input to WP4.
Create three alternative optimisation scenarios in the air transport system (optimised network and frequency reductions and combination of both, each with optimised aircraft fleet)
Evaluate the theoretical potentials for reducing CO2 emissions via optimised aircraft, network and frequency reductions
Quantify travel time changes, potential movement changes at airport and airport pair level and changes in aircraft fleet (seat class) in the three alternative scenarios.
Generate aircraft and network optimisation for global and local environmental assessments in WP2 and WP3 respectively
Compute global, full-flight emissions for base case and optimisation scenarios.
