Delicate Balance : Protecting the Environment and Strengthening Trade Through Controlling Aircraft Noise and Emissions

International trade and environmental law present a difficult and delicate balance for the commercial airline industry. The weight of real-world trade and environmental issues constantly shift the balance in opposing regulatory and normative directions. For instance, the environmental realities of running an airport, ranging from noise control and air emissions to less publicized issues of chemical runoff and waste disposal, foment anti-airport sentiment in the public and impose significant fiscal burdens on the airport itself. Despite that, the speed and convenience of air travel and the cheaper ticket prices brought by deregulation has the same public clamoring for more flights to more places at more times of the day and night.Air Force Inst of Tech Wright-Patterson AFB OH is the author of 'Delicate Balance : Protecting the Environment and Strengthening Trade Through Controlling Aircraft Noise and Emissions', published 2001 under ISBN 9781423526766 and ISBN 1423526767.
