Environmental Management System Strategy and Framework for the Next Generation Air Transportation System. JPDO Paper

摘要

The goal to increase National Airspace System (NAS) capacity to meet projected growth in the demand for air transportation is inextricably linked with the need to mitigate aviation environmental impacts and manage related energy issues. Research and development, technology innovations, alternative fuels, air traffic management and flight procedures, and airport practices will be critical to counter the environmental and energy pressures that an increase in air transportation demand will place on the natural and human environment. A strategic Environmental Management System (EMS) approach will provide the foundation for integrating environmental protection and energy goals into the core business and operational strategies of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen).
