Our specialist areas include:
- Economic and statistical analysis and advice on airports, airlines and air traffic services to develop and support policies, including aviation liberalisation, slot allocation, price control, etc.
- Evaluation of the economic consequences of policy options.
- Calculation of the noise exposure contours, forecasting the noise impact of new airports or existing airport developments, forecasting the impact of changes to Air Traffic Operations.
- Promotion of sustainability, i.e. vast experience in advisory on the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS).
