Journal of Air Transport Management, 2002, vol. 8, issue 2, 121-127

Abstract: Aircraft manufacturers are developing double decked aircraft known as new large aircraft (NLA) to cope with the growth in demand for air transportation. Because of the greater dimensions, the introduction will require changes in the airside configuration of practically all airports where they are to operate. Even for new airports, revised standards may be necessary to take into consideration the innovative technological features that will be present on those aircraft. This paper reviews the main issues related to the compatibility of the NLA with the airport airside and the related solutions that have been proposed.
