Abstract

This paper is an try and have a look at the quantity of plane emissions due to the combustion of jet fuel for the duration of the touchdown and takeoff (LTO) operations at Aden International Airport (AIA) in 2018. All statistics changed into taken from the airport's statistic data. The have a look at centered on the subsequent emitted plane gases: (CO2,CH4, N2O, CO, NMVOCs and SO2). It was found that there were 3,148 LTO activities in the course of 2018 which resulted in an approximate amount of 4,747,940 kg CO2, 346.68 kg CH4, 166.2 kg N2O, 23482 kg CO, 3186.9 kg NMVOCs and 1495 kg SO2. Boeing 737, Airbus 310 and CRJ700 were found to be the most polluting aircraft, while other aircraft were less polluting. Furthermore, despite the fact that there was very little aircraft traffic in Aden International Airport compared with either Sana'a or any of the remaining airports who had always been a major aviation hub, However, it is possible to use these results as a useful scientific base for the assessment of aircraft emissions locally, regionally or internationally. Finally, a number of recommendations have been presented by the study aimed at enhancing and  developing the environment in the vicinity of the airport.
