Investigation of emissions from passenger flights Denizli Çardak Airport, Türkiye

In this study, it is tried to calculate pollutant emissions occurring in 2022 during the LTO cycles of Denizli Çardak Airport in Turkey. These calculations are based on the information obtained from ICAO Engine Emission Data Bank and flight information published by the General Directorate of State Airports Authority (GDSAA). As a result of the data obtained, 74.64 ton/year pollutants (NOx-37.148 t/y, CO-35. 398 t/y and HC-2.094 t/y) were calculated for 2022 at Denizli Çardak Airport. Of all emissions, NOx accounted for 50%, CO 47% and HC 3%. In the LTO cycle, the most fuel is burned in taxi cycle and pollutant emissions produced in this cycle are greater. With a 2 min reduction in taxi time, there wi ll be an approximate 6.8% reduction in the total emission rate in the LTO cycle. Similarly, with a 4 min reduction in taxi time, there will be a 13.72% reduction in the whole emission rate in the LTO cycle. Unlike other studies, in this study the emission rates of various engines were compared. It has been calculated that the amount of pollutant emissions produced by the new generation Boeing 737 MAX LEAP-1B powered aircraft in LTO cycle is 25% less than the amount of pollutant emissions produced by the Airbus A320 NEO LEAP-1 A powered aircraft. The biggest factor here is that the emission o f CO pollutants is less. Considering the emission rates produced by these four different engines (B737-800 CFM56-7B, A320 V2500-A1, B737 MAX LEAP-1B, A320 NEO LEAP-1 A), the Airbus A320...
