Abstract
UK aviation greenhouse gas emissions will double over the next 25 years if Government plans for expansion are realised. This paper makes a case for the inclusion of domestic and international aircraft greenhouse gas emissions, divided equally between the airports used for take-off and landing, in airport environmental reports. A simple allocation method is described and is used to indicate the emissions implications of increasing passenger numbers at Manchester Airport, using combinations of the growth scenarios proposed by the Department for Transport in its aviation white paper consultation.
