The LFV Group - Airport Mediation - Home

Blekingetrafiken opened airport coach service between Karlskronaand Ronneby Airport.Several airports took steps to make it easier for buses toreach the terminal and expanded the number of bus stops.For example, Göteborg Landvetter Airport renovated thestreet in front of the terminal to create a common stop fordomestic and international passengers, with a sign showingthe next bus departure time. LFV is working actively tospeed up the construction of a double-track railway betweenGothenburg and Borås, which will pass beneath the airportin a tunnel. Other airports improved public transport optionsby adapting timetables better to departure and arrival times.Kiruna and Visby Airports have been trying to get a local busroute that includes the airport.Other steps to reduce the environmental impact ofground transportStockholm-Arlanda Airport is continuing its efforts to establisha vehicle fleet powered by renewable fuels, through a longtermcommitment to environmentally clean vehicles. The targetis to double the quantity of biogas consumed, by addingthree new biogas-powered buses during 2008. This meansthat three diesel-powered buses will be taken out of service. Inpreparation for an upcoming procurement of vehicle fuels, theairport decided to introduce ethanol. This will make it possiblefor the future bus fleet to be powered by biogas and ethanol. Ifall diesel buses at Stockholm-Arlanda can be replaced by biofuel-poweredbuses, this would be equivalent to a reduction ofnearly 1,000 tonnes of fossil carbon dioxide.Today there are more than 800 ecotaxis in the Stockholm-Arlanda queue system. Discussions are under way on how toreduce empty taxi runs from the airport.Several airports are offering their employees training in ecodrivingand in reducing, or completely eliminating, engineidling. Skellefteå Airport is offering its long-term parking customersengine heaters, and Luleå Airport rewards environmentallycertified taxi operators when signing new agreements bycharging them lower fees for entering the airport.Visby Airport has installed pumps for E85 (85 per cent ethanol)fuel, and during 2008 the airport will study the possibilityof offering concessions for environmentally friendly vehiclesthat come to the airport. Örnsköldsvik Airport has replaced itsown vehicles with newer, more modern ones. Working hourplanning has also made an improved ride-sharing system possibleamong employees. Örnsköldsvik is also endeavouring toimprove co-ordination of taxi trips.Performance reportThe official transport policy objectives related to civil aviationdeal largely with regional development, accessibility and similarconcerns. In recent years, LFV has approved and also implementeda strategy based on lowering its traffic charges to theextent this is financially feasible. It has carried out such reductionsin recent years and this strategy is very much intendedto strengthen aviation and promote its importance both forregional development and for accessibility for all categories ofcitizens.LFV used highly developed marketing efforts to expandservice to existing destinations while adding new destinationduring 2007. This contributes to regional development andincreases accessibility.Organisational managementLFV shall endeavour to achieve a balanced allocation ofpower and influence between women and men.

It shall also report its followupof other transport policy subsidiary objectives from a genderequality perspective. One prerequisite for this is that individual-basedstatistics are consistently presented and analysedfrom a gender standpoint, unless there are special reasons fornot doing so.
