Toward Baggage-Free Airport Terminals: A Case Study of London City Airport

Nowadays, the aviation industry pays more attention to emission reduction toward net-zero carbon goals. However, volume of global passengers and baggage is exponentially increasing, which leads challenges for sustainable airports. A baggage-free airport terminal considered a potential solution in solving this issue. Removing operation away from passenger terminals will reduce workload operators promote use public transport terminals. As result, it bring significant impact on energy environment, leading fuel consumption mitigation emission.

The result indicates that proposed can significantly 290.10 tonnes emissions annually.
