Passenger development

How to increase EIN’s market share in
its own region
• 90% of the travellers in the region prefer Eindhoven
Airport
• The absence of the desired destination and accessibility
are by far the most important reasons for passengers to
leave from another airport.
So:
Add destinations/improve accessibility

where “speed” and “experience” are added values”
“Eindhoven Airport is part of the essential infrastructure
in an ambitious region like South-East Brabant
(Brainport)”

Phased growth of Eindhoven Airport
• Phase 1: end 2014: 10.000 movements extra
• Evaluation end 2015: check on noise abatement and
sustainability: go/no go
• Phase 2: end 2020: 15.000 movements extra
Total growth to 43.000 movements in 2020

Quality of Life and Noise Reduction
Arrival / Departure
1. Continuous Descend Approach (CDA)
2. Optimizing Routes
3. Discourage use “reverse thrust” during
landing
4. “Reduced flaps”
5. Increase ILS Interception altitude
6. Limitation of aircraft movements on Sunday
Opening hours**
1. 07.00 – 23.00 hour/08.00 – 23.00 hour
weekend
2. Exception: max 3 arriving aircrafts + 1 hour
at the end of the day (2013 en 2014)**

2. Sunday: Ban “Noisy Aircrafts” of ACI
index
3. Selection Home carrier based on
Quietness & Sustainability
4. Rating by ACI Index
Management & Control
1. Phase 1 and Phase 2
2. After Phase 1: Evaluation
3. (Independent) routes monitoring and
complaint handling system
4. Air quality
5. Noise monitoring reports
** Extension under exceptional circumstances
