The new control centres in Stockholmand Malmö are meeting expectations ofoperationally stable and user-friendlyfacilities. Thanks to these new facilities,LFV can handle the sharp increasein traffic, which is mainly being generatedby overflight traffic in the BalticSea area.SESARIn conjunction with the Single EuropeanSky initiative, a new company calledSESAR Joint Undertaking (SESAR JU)has been established in order to coordinateand pursue the development of theEuropean air traffic management system.The European Commission and Eurocontrolare key players behind this companytogether with airlines, airports,manufacturers and not least suppliers ofair navigation services. During 2007, as arepresentative of the Northern Europeanpartnership, LFV has applied for membershipin SESAR JU. Negotiations onthis will occur during 2008.Green flightsThe trend towards greater use of“green aviation” in general and “greenapproaches” in particular is continuing,in partnership with airlines and airports.Green approaches are already being carriedout when possible by aircraft fromparticipating airlines. At present, thisconsists of collaboration between ScandinavianAirlines, Stockholm-ArlandaAirport and LFV’s Air Navigation Services.The hope is to be able to introducegreen flights soon at all LFV airports.SAS’ evaluations indicate that this trafficcontrol method can reduce fuel consumptionby several hundred kilos perflight. Reduced fuel consumption meanscost savings and environmental improvements.The project has thus attractedgreat interest even among non-participants.For Stockholm-Arlanda Airport,every measure that can reduce environmentalload is of great interest, sincethe current emission ceiling constitutesa clear barrier to the airport’s expansion.The technique also makes it possibleto avoid unnecessary queues on theground and in the air. This will lead tofurther fuel savings and higher punctuality,which benefits passengers.EU directive on service chargesDuring 2007, the European Commission’sdirective on a common systemof charges for air navigation serviceswent into effect. The directive doesnot imply any decisive changes relatedto the financing of services connected toen route operations, but there are substantialchanges concerning air navigationservices at airports. For these services,the directive will go into effect inits entirety in 2010. The costs of air navigationservices at airports must be allocatedbetween an en route charge zoneand a terminal charge zone. This impliesa direct financial relationship betweenthe organisation that provides air navigationservices at airports and those thatuse airspace, which means that the airportwill no longer invoice this charge.The directive contains a numberof exemptions that EU member statescan apply. For example, it is possible toexempt air navigation services providedat airports with fewer than 50,000 commercialaircraft movements per year,as well as at airports with fewer than150,000 movements per year if they procureair navigation services on a competitivebasis. Sweden has not yet decidedwhether to use any of these exemptions.LFV’s Air Navigation Services > LFV 2007
LFV’s environmental work IMPORTANT EVENTS• Carbon dioxide emissions from LFV’s operations continued to diminish.• Public transport connections to several airports improved during 2007.• Green flights reduced carbon dioxide emissions by 350 tonnes during the year.Thanks to extensive and systematic environmentalwork, LFV has drasticallyreduced its carbon dioxide emissions inrecent years. Emissions will diminish byan average of 4 per cent annually until2010. Environmental concern permeatesLFV’s operations and is weighed intoevery decision. LFV’s airports are examinedregularly in compliance with theSwedish Environmental Code, and LFVendeavours to be a role mode in everyrespect in terms of sustainability.Continued reductions in carbondioxide emissionsSince 2003, carbon dioxide emissions inLFV’s own operations have decreased by47 per cent. During 2007 LFV continuedto reduce carbon dioxide emissions further.Its environmental target in terms ofatmospheric emissions implies that LFVwill reduce its own carbon dioxide emissionsby 4 per cent annually during theperiod 2007 – 2010. During 2007, emissionstotalled 8,400 tonnes, which representeda reduction by 25 per cent comparedto the preceding year.Climate neutral companyLFV has made extensive reductions in itsgreenhouse gas emissions in recent years.For example, LFV purchases green electricitycertificates equivalent to its totalannual consumption. However, its operationsstill emit a certain quantity of carbondioxide every year. To take responsibilityfor these emissions as well, LFVbuys emission credits through theUnited Nations-regulated Clean DevelopmentMechanism (CDM). For the period2006 – 2008, LFV has bought emissioncredits that will lead to emission reductionsof 45,000 tonnes elsewhere in theworld.LFV enables passengers to offsettheir emissionsDuring 2007 LFV introduced a mechanismfor passengers to offset their emissionswhen departing from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport. The service is availableon the LFV website, and there are plansduring 2008 to make it possible to offsetemissions when departing from all LFVairports.Arlanda Energi saves energy andmoneyIn 2006 Stockholm-Arlanda Airportestablished its own energy supplier.Arlanda Energi was formed that year asa separate unit at the airport. ArlandaEnergi delivers a predetermined indoorclimate to the airport organisation itselfand to other airport-based companiesthat request it. Its task is to do this withthe least possible environmental impactand at the lowest possible cost. The unitis also responsible for serving as a sourceof technical backup to LFV on energyissues. Among other things, during 2007it started the “Energy Cooperation LFV”project to reduce overall LFV energy use.During 2007 Arlanda Energi continuedto develop its own production of longtermsustainable heating and cooling.The reduction in energy use at Stockholm-ArlandaAirport that ArlandaEnergi has contributed to is equivalent tothe total energy use at an airport the sizeof Göteborg Landvetter.Local environmental effortsSeveral of LFV’s airports have implementedvarious energy-saving measures.In 2008, Malmö Airport expectsto replace oil-fired heating with pelletbasedheating. This will reduce fossil carbondioxide emissions by an estimated85 per cent. As part of an ongoing environmentalreview at Göteborg Landvetter,the airport has produced an actionplan that will lead to significant reductionsin carbon dioxide emissions overthe next several years. During the year,the airport also proposed a new flightpath system.Green flights and green departuresCollaboration with SAS related to greenflights continued during 2007. A totalof 1,100 green flights have taken place,which is estimated to have eliminatedmore than 300 kg of carbon dioxideemissions per flight. Through continuousexchange of information throughoutthe flight, both speed and throttle positioncan be optimised, while flight timecan be calculated more exactly. Asidefrom reduced carbon dioxide emissions,green flights result in lower noise,since aircraft glide during much of theirapproach. During 2007, LFV also testedgreen departures on a small scale. Thisinvolves calculating departure time andground taxiing time more exactly, whichamong other things enables the aircraftto remain at the gate with the engineturned off instead of queuing on the wayto the runway for take-off.NoiseDuring 2007, noise awareness was classifiedat LFV’s airports. The purposeof this work is to make airports moreaware of their noise abatement workand thereby enable better, more activeefforts to limit noise. Some airports haveno clear noise requirements and thuscould not be classified. The classificationconsists of four stages: passive, reactive,proactive and reforming. All the airportsthat were classified have reached atleast the reactive stage, and many haveachieved several of the criteria for thereforming stage.Discharges to soil and waterwaysThe task of inventorying polluted areasat LFV’s airports continued during 2007.Polluted soil was found, among otherlocations, at the Stockholm-Arlanda Airportfire-fighting exercise area. The totalcost of remedial measures at all airportsis estimated at SEK 25-40 M.During 2007 Stockholm-ArlandaAirport also carried out extensive renovationof its water purification plant.Malmö Airport completed the constructionof a new water purification plant.Both these measures will lead to loweremissions of organic substances in runoffwater from the airport.20> LFV 2007 < LFV’s environmental work
