Abstract: This paper presents the estimation of pollutant gas emissions including nitrogen oxides (NOx), hydrocarbons (HC), and carbon monoxide (CO), from aircraft during landing and take-off (LTO) cycles for the year 2010Â at Kayseri Airport in Turkey. Emission calculations were carried out using the flight data recorded by the State Airports Authority and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) - Engine Emission Data Bank (EEDB) used for calculations. The total landing and take-off pollutant emissions from aircrafts were calculated as 177.90Â t/y (8.4Â t/y for HC, 66.90Â t/y for CO, and 102.64Â t/y for NOx) at Kayseri Airport in 2010. It is estimated that a decrease of 2Â min in taxiing time causes a decrease of approximately 4% in LTO emissions. An increase of 25% in landing and take-off cycles causes an increase of around 11% in pollutant emissions. Domestic flights were responsible for 68% of the total LTO emissions from all flights at Kayseri Airport in 2010.
