Airport Groundside Panel Madrid 21-22 May 2002

International Survey - 1999 ICAO/CAEP WG4 conducted an

international survey to assess various operational opportunities to minimise fuel use and emissions (Operational Opportunities to Improve Air Quality Management at Airports, May 2000).

Recommendations are included in Chapter 3 of the ICAO circular on Operational Opportunities to Minimise Fuel Use and Reduce Emissions.
