In Regard To Athens Airport Transportation

By Daphne Bowen


Those who travel by air face a challenge in terms of navigating the traffic in airports, finding a parking space and getting past the general obstacles in the grounds. Therefore, there is need to get a company which is highly qualified in dealing with offering solutions on airline transportation in full-spectrum. This can provide the much needed reforms in Athens airport transportation.

Many of the decision-makers on air transport matters have expressed their concerns on extending railways into the airdrome terminals. Depending on how this is incorporated, it can really boost business for these organizations. More travelers can be handled without causing a lot of damage to the environment. Also, business transactions can be carried out without having to leave a huge allowance to highway congestion which can be potentially witnessed.

To note is that rail infrastructure development in this airstrips needs to be undertaken by highly qualified people. If the contract is handed over to people who are not sure of what to do, this will be only wastage of resources and time and the end result will be disappointing. Engineers of airport construction and rail too need to collaborate in order to make the undertaking a success.

The transport infrastructure has to be integrated. A number of means of transport must be incorporated. This will mean that the movement of people and also good from one point to the next will take the minimum time and also the process will be efficient. Connections should be made to transits, trucks and rail from the airdrome terminals and this should be carried out without much hassle.

The aerodromes have been named among the biggest emitters of carbon. This is usually from the vehicles operating to ferry travelers to their destinations. The other vehicles operating near the landing fields also play a role in polluting the air with exhaust smoke.

A solution to air pollution as a result of traffic in the airdrome is designing rental cars which are consolidated to reduce these carbon emissions for use for transportation purposes in the air terminals. Also, their circulation network should be in such a way that to ease congestion. This way, global warming will be reduced a notch further.

Some of the ways which have been incorporated to do away with pollution emanating for these sites include reduction of the intersections that are present in different kinds of vehicle movement and also between vehicles and pedestrians allowing for fee flowing vehicle operations. Also, the distance from the terminal to the site of renting the cars should be reduced. In addition, the service areas and return areas for the rental cars should be decreased.

Individual rental cars can be replaced by use of buses which will be able to carry a lot of passengers. Multimodal connection systems could be used alongside other modes of transportation. Dynamic operations should be put into place to test how efficient the configurations incorporated are. Other alternatives can be tried too.
