A collaborative study between Regional & City Airports (RCA), travel company TUI and Cranfield University is investigating how to reduce the environmental impact of aircraft turnarounds at airports.

Professor Anna Smallwood, head of the centre for air transport management, Cranfield University, described the collaboration as “an excellent example of industry and academia working together” to initiate changes in an area currently underserved by research.
