Em todo o mundo, o índice de colisões desta natureza está aumentando. Assim, a presença incontrolada de animais nas imediações das pistas de pousos e decolagens é um dos riscos que as aeronaves enfrentam durante suas operações, principalmente durante a decolagem e aterrissagem, quando há maior possibilidade de colisões. Por este motivo, faz-se necessário implementar ações de controle e manejo da fauna que devem efetivar a redução ou, até mesmo, a interrupção de colisões em aeródromos. Para tanto, deve ser realizada uma avaliação do risco da fauna associada ao aeródromo, de forma a identificar espécies-problema e direcionar a aplicação de recursos para controle das espécies que representam maior risco para as operações do aeroporto. Considerando o maior risco de colisão de aeronaves com aves, o presente trabalho buscou avaliar o risco da avifauna para o Aeroporto Presidente Itamar Franco, um aeroporto estrategicamente localizado na Zona da Mata de Minas Gerais e que atende à região com voos regulares para passageiros e com infraestrutura para logística de carga aérea. Para identificação da avifauna associada a este aeroporto, foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico que resultou em 185 espécies registradas no ano de 2001, antes da construção do aeroporto, e um levantamento de campo com duração de doze meses, de 2015 a 2016, que teve como resultado o registro de 130 espécies. No mesmo período de 2015 a 2016 também foram identificados os potenciais focos de atração da avifauna tanto no aeroporto como na ASA, que são representados, principalmente, por fontes de alimento às aves. Além disso, através do sensoriamento remoto e da aplicação do índice de vegetação NDVI, foi avaliada a evolução temporal da fragmentação vegetal na ASA do Aeroporto Presidente Itamar Franco, que pode influenciar fortemente a diversidade e o comportamento das espécies de aves na região. Por último, com a aplicação de metodologias propostas na legislação brasileira, foram identificadas as espécies-problema, oito ao total, e, a partir destas informações, foram propostas ações que contribuirão para controle destas espécies. / Wildlife hazard at aerodromes is the potential risk of an aircraft colliding with species, soil or airspace. Across the world, the rate of collisions of this nature is increasing. Thus, the uncontrolled presence of animals in the vicinity of runways is one of the risks that aircraft face during their operations, especially during landing and take-off, when there is a greater possibility of collisions. Because of this, it is necessary to implement actions of wildlife control and management that should effect the reduction or even the interruption of collisions in aerodromes. In order to do so, a risk assessment of the fauna associated with the aerodrome must be carried out in order to identify problem species and to direct the application of resources to control the species that represent greater risk for the airport operations. Considering the greater risk of collision of aircraft with birds, the present work sought to evaluate the risk of avifauna to Presidente Itamar Franco Airport, a strategically located airportin the Zona da Mata of Minas Gerais and that serves the region with scheduled flights for passengers and with infrastructure for air cargo logistics. In order to identify the avifauna associated with this airport, a bibliographic survey was carried out, which resulted in 185 species registered in the year 2001, before the construction of the airport, and work sessions on field lasting twelve months, from 2015 to 2016, which resulted in the registration of 130 species. In the same period from 2015 to 2016, potential sources of avifauna attraction were identified at both the airport and the ASA, which are mainly represented by food sources to birds. In addition, through remote sensing and the application of the NDVI vegetation index, the temporal evolution of plant fragmentation in the ASA of the Presidente Itamar Franco Airport was evaluated, which can strongly influence the diversity and behavior of the bird species in the region. Finally, with the application of methodologies proposed in the Brazilian legislation, the problem species were identified, a total of eight, and, from this information, actions were proposed that will contribute to the control of these species.

The Methodology for inventory of contaminated sites (MIFO) is a method designed by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency with an aim to facilitate agents and consultants during inventory of contaminated areas. It is structured into two stages, the first phase comprises oriented studies of the area while the second one consists of conceptual studies, such as field testing and analysis. After each phase the object is assigned a risk class that describes the degree of contamination and the risk associated with it. At Sundsvall-Timrå airport, the soil, surface- and groundwater at two fire drilling sites are contaminated with the anthropogenic substance PFOS, a former supplement in extinguishing foam. As a result of this, a number of environmental investigations have occurred over the past seven years which has led to a substantial amount of data in regards to the degree and dispersion of the contamination. However, prior to this date no risk classification according to MIFO phase 2 has been done. In order to appropriately remediate the site, it is essential that this step of the process is completed. Thus the County Administrative Board of Västernorrland in Sweden commissioned this thesis for the purpose of risk classifying Sundsvall-Timrå Airport. This was done by analysing the results from previous environmental investigations made by WSP Environmental and comparing them to the Swedish Geological Institute’s preliminary benchmark value for PFOS. The fact that Sundsvall-Timrå airport is situated in close approximation to a nature reserve and due to the high degree of contamination together with the substance distribution capabilities and high toxicity, the study resulted in the object being assigned risk class 1, very high risk. / Syftet med detta självständiga arbete var att på uppdrag av Länsstyrelsen i Västernorrland göra en MIFO fas 2 riskklassning av ett förorenat område vid Sundsvall-Timrå flygplats. MIFO (Metodik för inventering av förorenade områden) är en metodik framtagen av Naturvårdsverket med ändamålet att vägleda ombud och konsulter vid inventeringar av förorenade områden. Metoden är uppdelad i två steg, fas 1 och fas 2. Den första fasen involverar orienterade studier av området och den andra består av översiktliga studier, som till exempel fältundersökningar och analyser. Efter var fas tilldelas objektet en riskklass utifrån hur allvarlig föroreningssituationen bedöms vara. På Sundsvall-Timrå flygplats är marken, yt- och grundvattnet vid två brandövningsplatser förorenat med det antropogena ämnet PFOS som brukade ingå i släckskum. Som följd till detta har ett flertal miljötekniska mark- och grundvattenundersökningar gjorts i området under de senaste sju åren. Detta har lett till ett betydande underlag av data beträffande halt och spridning av föroreningen men fram tills nu har ingen fas 2 riskklassning av brandövningsplatserna med avseende på PFOS gjorts. Avsikten med arbetet var således att med hjälp av resultaten från tidigare miljötekniska undersökningar och SGIs preliminära riktvärden för PFOS, tilldela objektet en riskklass. Då Sundsvall-Timrå flygplats ligger intill Indalsälvens naturreservat, föroreningsnivån vid brandövningsplatserna anses vara mycket stor samt det faktum att PFOS har höga spridningsförutsättningar och toxicitet, resulterade studien i att området tilldelades riskklass 1, vilket innebär mycket stor risk.

Revenue Management (RM) is the practice of managing perishable assets by control-ling their availability and/or prices with an objective to maximize the total revenue. Seat inventory allocation falls in the purview of quantity-based RM. The liberalization of the aviation sector and the subsequent entrance of the low-cost carriers saw an ever-increasing customer base for the airline industry. Given the large number of buyers, firms were free to decide the price at which they would sell tickets. The low-cost carriers started to follow a third degree price discrimination and segmentation of the market, charging a higher price to the market with a relatively inelastic demand. Although a lot of work has been done in the area of seat inventory allocation under a monopolistic market scenario, we realized that not a lot of work had been done in a competitive market scenario. This thesis considers the problem of seat inventory allocation and pricing in a duopoly where each of the competing airlines have two fare-classes. We consider the possibility that the same fare-class may be priced differently by the two competing airlines and allow for the over flow of passengers between the airlines in the same fare-class. In the first part of our work, we develop a non-linear mathematical model for setting the booking limits for one of the two competing air-lines such that the revenue earned is maximized. We consider over flow of passengers from one airline to another in the same fare-class in response to a price differential and compare the results obtained from our model with the standard Expected Marginal Seat Revenue (EMSR) model under a monopolistic scenario. The results show that our model gives higher revenues than that obtained from the EMSR model. In the second part of our work, we consider a non-cooperative game between two competing airlines with price cutting as the strategy to increase their demand. Through numerical computations, we identify the pure strategy Nash equilibrium. From the results, we conclude that Nash equilibrium is achieved only when both the airlines follow the same pricing strategy indicating that individual price cutting will not be beneficial. This also indicates that unless the competitors enter into a cooperative coalition with each other, they would not benefit from deep discount offers. In the third and final part, we prove theoretically the existence of pure strategy Nash equilibrium in a two airline, two fare-class problem with price sensitive over flow of customers in the same fare-class that was computationally analysed earlier. The strategy / strategies at which Nash equilibrium is achieved are identified. We show that Nash equilibrium is only achieved when both the airlines price identically. Hence, our thesis concludes that differential pricing does not hold any significance for the competing airlines from an operational perspective.

The final thesis analyzes the actual situation of air transport in North America and the EU. New Open skies treaty signed by EU and USA (also EU and Canada) is the objective of the final thesis. An other goal is its influence on transatlantic flights. Moreover the final thesis treats of the allocation of the airport's slots and the actual safety situation as well. Finally there is a small part about alternative jet fuels and the perspectives of air freight transport.
