Possibilities of Sustainable Airport Business

Raising awareness of the negative impact of air traffic on climate changes with the greenhouse effect is increasing, so airports are also expected to contribute to reducing its impact on the environment. The airport area has the greatest negative impact not only because of harmful exhaust gases, aircraft noise, but also because of seizure of green areas, fragmentation of natural wildlife habitats, depletion of non-renewable natural resources, energy consumption, generation of waste left behind by tourists, soil and water pollution which are just some of the negative effects that air traffic has on the environment. Negative impacts on the environment extend to the land outside the airport, which can further affect the efficiency of the airport, and thus the sustainable development of the airport. Air travel has made it easier for tourists to get to the other side of the world faster, and the LCC has made transportation accessible to a large number of people. The increased number of tourist arrivals has its positive and negative impact on the population, which is reflected in the quality of life and health of people living near the airport. Reducing the negative impact of air traffic on the environment should be the main goal of airport management. The paper analyzes the sustainable development of the airport with reference to Constantine the Great Airport in Nis, as well as several good examples of airport practice in the world.
