Market Position
• Highest market share of business aviation air traffic
movements in the South East @ 35%
• Permitted up to 50,000 annual movements phased-
in through to 2019
• Up to 8,900 weekend movements phased-in through
to 2019
• Only dedicated business aviation airport
Planning, Community and Environment
• Master Plan 2009
• Farnborough Aerodrome Consultative Committee
• Education and Aviation
• Engineering Apprenticeship
• Flying Scholarship
• Community Matters Partnership
• Sustainability Charter
Sustainability – Commitment
• In 2009 TAG Farnborough Airport published a Master Plan following
stakeholder consultation including the local community.
• The Master Plan included a commitment to a 20-point Sustainability
Charter to address the potential effects of Airport development on the
environment and implement measures to significantly reduced them.
• The keys areas for address were:
• As a part of this commitment all work under this sector was branded
with a unique logo to communicate the sustainable development ethos
to all stakeholders.
• Noise
• Waste
• Biodiversity
• Emissions
• Carbon Reduction
Sustainability – Noise• Residential areas are established all around the airfield, most
significantly along the extended runway centrelines to the east and west
• Noise in the community is therefore a key concern for TAG
• In a leading approach representatives of all relevant stakeholders were
brought together:
• A development group formed (Quiet Flying Program) tasked with
delivering a set of procedures that would be safe, operational
practicable and demonstrably reduce the level of noise and the number
of people affected by noise in the vicinity of the airport.
• TAG management
• Air Traffic Services (NATS)
• Aircrew
• Local planning authorities
• Community Pressure Groups
Sustainability – Waste• A commitment was made to reduce landfill waste and develop a waste
strategy alongside service providers, site workers and airport users.
• Contractors chosen to work with TAG on ensuring development in line
with the Waste Hierarchy
• Use of more sustainable disposal methods including Waste derived
Fuel, Energy from Waste and Anaerobic Digestion
• Full review of site waste facilities including locations, signage, service
and training to maximise correct usage and effective waste segregation
Sustainability – Biodiversity
Biodiversity is a term used to describe the variation of plant and animal species,
habitats and ecosystems within a defined region.
Through a combination of planning obligations and existing TAG land
management procedures a commitment to preserving and where practicable
increasing biodiversity has been made.

Sustainability – Emissions
Emissions and local air quality are strictly regulated and TAG is obligated to
routinely monitor levels of Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), one of a group of nitrogenous
gases called NOx. NOx is a constituent of aircraft and vehicle exhaust
Aircraft Emissions
To address aircraft emissions TAG has implemented a NOx charging scheme.
• All aircraft must provide details of their engine types prior to operating
• All operators pay a fee related to the NOx index of the specific engine
type, per engine, per arrival.
• All finances raised from the scheme are used to invest in sustainable
projects on and in the vicinity of the airport.
• The scheme is designed to incentivise long term operator investment in
efficient engine technology
Sustainability – Carbon Reduction
Addressing Climate Change is a major part of TAG Farnborough Airport’s work
in sustainable development. To achieve this a commitment to reducing the
Carbon Footprint of TAG Farnborough Airport has been established.
Carbon Footprint reduction is achieved through development in 5 major areas:
• Sourcing of energy
• Monitoring and control of energy use
• Investment in low energy plant and equipment
• Communication and training on efficient procedures (staff)
• Development of efficient operational procedures (aircraft)
Sustainability – Carbon Footprinting
• Achieved reductions in carbon emissions are monitored by annual
calculation of the Carbon Footprint.
• To enhance developments in carbon footprint reduction TAG has enrolled in
Airport Carbon Accreditation
• Developed by Airports Council International Europe,
Airport Carbon Accreditation provides an independent
global standard for benchmarking, reporting and validating
airport carbon footprints.
• The scheme has 4 levels:
MAPPING – Carbon footprint measurement, independently verified
REDUCTION – Mapping + Carbon management towards footprint reduction
OPTIMISTION – Mapping + Reduction + Third party engagement in carbon reduction
NEUTRALITY – Mapping + Reduction + Optimisation + Offsetting of direct emissions
Sustainability – Carbon FootprintingAirport Carbon Accreditation Timeline
• 2008 – Mapping level achieved
• 2009 – Reduction level achieved
• 2010 - 2011 – Reduction level renewed
• 2012 – Optimisation achieved
Over the five year period TAG Farnborough Airport has reduced the carbon
footprint by 1758 tonnes CO2 per annum to 3483 tonnes
TAG Farnborough Airport is committed to reaching level 4 of Airport Carbon
Accreditation by 2019
