Optimizing Airport Safety Protocols for Environmental Sustainability: A Comprehensive Approach to Hazard Identification and Mitigation

Abstract

Although the aviation industry is responsible for transportation and economic development, at the same time it is associated with negative impacts such as carbon emissions, energy consumption, and waste generation. Similarly, airports and airlines emphasize on the operational and passenger safety. This study seeks to address both issues by developing an integrated framework that enhances airport safety while minimizing the environmental consequences. The work suggests a comprehensive model whereby safety measures are integrated with rest of the activities and is directed towards the achievement of least operational risks and environmental degradation. They include but are not limited to new data and real-time analysis technologies, which prove to be effective in increasing safety and decreasing carbon emissions. The project also investigates renewable energy, green construction, as well as waste-to-energy technologies for environmentally friendly construction and operational activities while satisfying safety and sustainability objectives.
