Global Value Chain

Airport infrastructure decisions are primarily independent of global supply chain dynamics and only influenced by local demand conditions.

• True
• False

The ALARP principle implies that aviation risks can be completely eliminated through advanced safety management systems.

• True
• False

In the ICAO risk matrix, a “minor” risk level corresponds to complete system failure and multiple fatalities.

• True
• False

Expansion of airports is mainly driven by immediate profit maximization rather than long-term demand forecasting and capacity analysis.

• True
• False

1. Safety Management Systems (SMS) focus solely on post-incident investigation rather than proactive or predictive risk management.

• True
• False

Airport infrastructure is best described as:

• A standalone transport facility

• A component affecting connectivity and logistics

• A system focused on passenger handling

• A purely government-controlled entity

Which factor most strongly influences airport expansion decisions?

• Political popularity

• Capacity saturation

• Aircraft manufacturer preferences

• Weather variability

A key limitation of brownfield development is:

• Lack of existing infrastructure

• High uncertainty in demand

• Urban constraints limiting expansion

• Absence of operational data

High energy consumption in older airports is primarily due to:

• Increased passenger traffic

• Inefficient legacy HVAC

• Runway overuse

• Poor airline scheduling

Which best defines Level of Service (LOS) in airport operations?

• Aircraft maintenance efficiency

• Passenger experience

• Fuel consumption rate

• Air traffic control capacity
