Sažetak
In the era of increased awareness surrounding global warming and the importance of renewable energy, airports are affected by the rising costs of fossil fuels, as well as by the demands for the reduction of greenhouse gases emission. This paper reports the effort to determine the benefits of replacing gasoline and diesel-fueled internal combustion engine ground support equipment (ICE GSE) with electric ground support equipment (eGSE). The model of environment-friendly aircraft handling will be based on the examination of cost- effectiveness and reduction of greenhouse gases in the case of replacing fossil-fueled GSE with cleaner, more efficient electric-powered alternatives. In comparison with the current procedures of Ground Handling, the authors choose Zagreb Airport Ltd. as the representative airport for building Case Study and Airbus A319/A320 as the reference aircraft for calculation of greenhouse gases emission during handling process. The calculation method will be based on real time duration of processes performed by each piece of GSE during aircraft handling procedure. The usage of the model will be tested on aircraft handling for two airline business models: network and low cost. This research will show for the first time the relation between environmentally friendly procedures and vehicles, costs and increase in effectiveness during Aircraft Ground Handling.
