Nederland is het grootste exportland van snijbloemen ter wereld. In 2017 werd 1,7 miljoen ton vracht aan snijbloemen van en naar Schiphol vervoerd. Luchtvrachtvervoer van bloemen bedraagt 25 procent van het totale jaarlijkse tonnage van goederen via luchthaven Schiphol. De toekomst ziet er minder rooskleurig uit voor Nederland als gevolg van de ontwikkelingen binnen de bloemensector, in internationale handel en de toenemende concurrentie vanuit andere landen, en nieuwe technologische ontwikkelingen op het gebied van zeevervoer. Om de internationale positie van luchthaven Schiphol als ‘preffered hub’ voor bloemen te behouden c.q. versterken, is het belangrijk om de ontwikkelingen in de internationale bloemen keten te analyseren en de positie van die van Schiphol ten opzichte van concurrerende luchthavens (Brussel, Frankfurt, Luik en Parijs) vast te stellen. In dit onderzoek wordt hiervoor een afwegingskader en een kostenmodel gebruikt. De resultaten laten zien dat Schiphol goed kan concurreren op basis van kosten, kwaliteit en luchthaven infrastructuur, onder andere dankzij de directe internationale bestemmingen en de kwaliteit van vrachtafhandeling. Uit de analyse van verschillende factoren en de vergelijking van Schiphol met zijn concurrenten blijkt dat de luchthaven Luik Schiphol op de hielen zit. De resultaten laten zien dat Luik beter scoort dan Schiphol voor het vervoer van bloemen boven de 1.000 kg. Op monetaire, transportkosten en kwaliteit van diensten scoort Luik gelijk. Op het gebied van restricties is Luik Schiphol voorbij.

The development of sustainable aviation turns out to be a 30 year transition process. How to manage this transition process is a crucial for the change and success of the aviation sector in future. The foreseen solutions are mostly driven by technological innovation and improvements of procedures and regulations. The question is if these tools are sufficient to manage the innovation of an entire sector with 100 years legacy or are changes in business models, societal values and human behaviour part of the instrument mix aviation can use? New or adapted innovation models and tools are needed to use the full mix of instruments. The article explores the use of a modified Cyclic Innovation Model which is developed by researchers of TU Delft. The development of Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam and the outlook for its next 100 years is used as a case to understand the complexity of sustainable airport development.
Visit Zuid-Limburg, Koninklijke Horeca Nederland and Hiswa/Recron have asked Breda University of Applied Sciences (BUas) to conduct an exploratory research into the possible impacts of aircraft noise on tourism and recreation in the Southern part of Limburg province, Netherlands, in relation to the current and future exploitation of Maastricht Aachen Airport (MAA). Tourism and recreation are key economic sectors in the characteristic landscape of Southern Limburg. Goal of the project is to review the state-of-the-art of knowledge on aircraft noise impacts on tourism and recreation, and to survey potential visitors of the area on their attitudes towards aircraft noise, in order to map the potential impacts on tourism and recreation in Southern Limburg.Clients: Koninklijke Horeca Nederland, Hiswa-Recron, Visit Zuid-Limburg
