An Outlook On Athens Airport Transportation

By Daphne Bowen


With the congestion being witnessed in many airports in the recent past, finding a parking space or making your way through the traffic jam is a real nightmare. That is why many of the airdromes have moved towards seeking for a company to offer them solutions in this sector. Athens airport transportation is in search for a company to facilitate the much desired reforms.

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 system has to be integrated for reduction of congestion in the communities. There is need to construction not just one mode of transport network but several. The movement should be very efficient and quick. The transportation means brought into play should cater for this. The connections should run from the airdrome terminal to waiting trucks, transits and also to the rail.

The aerodromes are responsible for a significant amount of carbon emissions which have become a real problem nowadays. This comes from the cars and buses which transport the travelers from the landing fields to other places. The situation is even made worse by the cars which are operating around the vicinity of the airports.

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.

Reduction of intersections between the cars and people and also with other vehicles is one way of easing the traffic jam and allowing for faster operations of the vehicles. Also, the distance which ought to be covered in order to get to the places where the rental cars are hired from can also be reduced. Servicing areas for these cars should be located near the clientele too.

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.
