Predictable and Environmentally friendly operations of regional Airports with COnnectivity and Climate as Keyword
PEACOCK Connecting Europe’s Regional Airports through predictable and green operations
Why is predictability important?
Punctual and predictable operations are the essence of precise and integrated planning. The ability to provide the Network Manager with accurate departure time predictions is key to estimating the traffic loads at the network level and therefore ensuring that any determined Air Traffic Flow Management measures are optimised according to the real sector loads.
The PEACOCK project is an initiative aimed at enhancing the connectivity and environmental performance of regional airports across Europe. Over a span of 36 months, PEACOCK will ensure that several regional airports are providing the Network Manager with accurate departure estimates and including during challenging winter operations. In addition, PEACOCK will demonstrate a dashboard to analyse and quantify the environmental impact – both noise and emissions – of landing, taxiing, and take-off operations at several airports. This focus on environmental metrics aligns with the broader vision of creating a Digital European Sky, promoting sustainable and efficient aviation practices.
PEACOCK partners comprise airports from Belgium, Czechia, France, Greece, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania and Sweden.
PEACOCK Technical Solutions:
The connectivity solution being demonstrated in PEACOCK is encapsulated as a centralised Network Manager service leading to a deployment cost for the airports of close to zero. A semi-automatic process is introduced to monitor key flight events (landing, in-block, off-block, take-off) and to accurately predict flight departure estimates thereby ensuring that sector load predictions at the level of the ATM Network are as accurate as possible. During winter operations, the impact of the de-icing operation on the departure time will be captured through algorithms based on CNS monitoring using ADS-B technology as well as machine learning.
The project will also demonstrate the use of artificial intelligence based on cameras to detect key processes during the aircraft turnaround (fuelling, catering etc) as a means of further improving the quality of the departure time prediction.
Conclusion and key Innovations
In summary, the PEACOCK project plays a crucial role in fostering connectivity by integrating regional airports into the broader European aviation network and promoting environmentally friendly operations.

21-PL-TM-IOCMMAW – 101079541 “Increasing the operational capabilities of the airport’s air side for military operations at Wrocław Airport”
Wroclaw – Strachowice airport is the largest airport in the south-western region of Poland and the only one in the region capable of receiving domestic and international air traffic. The airport is located on the Baltic-Adriatic and North Sea-Baltic Corridors within the TEN-T core network.
In terms of traffic, Wrocław Airport is one of the largest in the national air transport network after Warsaw, Kraków, Katowice and Gdańsk, with a traffic exceeding 3.5 million passengers in 2019.
Wroclaw – Strachowice is also the main airport in Poland used by the military for strategic air transport. Due to its location and vicinity to the German and the Czech Republic borders, the airport can be considered as a core or alternative airport fostering military movements supporting CSDP missions and operations. In addition, due to reliable airport infrastructure, as well as existing transport nodes (road, rail), Wroclaw airport can be used as a transport hub for civilian-military movements.
The project aims to expand the airside infrastructure of Wroclaw airport to increase its dual-use. The investments concern the construction of an apron, a parallel taxiway, a rapid exit taxiway, reconstruction and renovation of existing taxiways and construction of a de-icing pad.
These investments will increase the operability of the airport for military and civil operations and reduce the service time of flight operations.”

TENT project
“Comprehensive study and technical documentation of development of an International Airport Wroclaw” – 2008-PL-92004-S – in the field of the trans-European transport networks (TEN-T).
The project which has been prepared by Wrocław Airport is a response to the urgent need for the diagnosis of its situation and for defining the directions of its development . At the moment, air transport is one of the most dynamically developing industries and some forecasts indicate that by 2020 there will be an increase in the number of passengers by three and a half times and in the number of air operations – by nearly two and a half times. The Project in question involves drawing up a number of documents and analyses necessary for the execution of the investment project.
The project scope encompasses the following activities:
- Preparing tender documentation
- Awarding contractors in public procurements
2.1 Laying out the master layer map
At the moment, the airport does not have a master map suitable for design purposes. Such a map is an essential element of all investment actions. Within the Project framework, we are planning to draw up such a layer map possibly including all the information necessary for potential contractors.
2.2 Laying out the GIS map
GIS is A spatial map includes geospatial information. This 3-D map containing a vector representation of the object current state, and of the network of objects, with animation at the real time of particular elements on the schemes. Designing a map in this system (in an appropriate scale) allows to present different aspects of project execution, environment protection, and so on. We wont us this map to the noise monitoring system.
2.3 Drawing up the inventory of aprons
The scope of the project actions encompasses preparation of detailed engineering design documentation of construction of taxiways, rapid exit taxiways, aprons in front of the new terminal, the South deicing apron at the threshold 29 and an isolation bay near the threshold of runway 11. Completion of this action is indispensable for the airport to further operate. Without the said project works we soon will not be able to clear aircraft for landing nor handle them as the present infrastructure has now worn out and currently remains inefficient when faced with the increasing traffic.
2.4 Carrying out the analyses of passengers and operators
This task involves comprehensive elaboration of a strategy for air service development for Copernicus Airport in Wroclaw through carrying out a number of analyses and studies regarding passengers, network of connections, trasport to and from the airport, comparisons with other airports and so on.
2.5 Drawing up technical documentation of the noise monitoring system construction
Aircraft exploitation induces noise emission around airports. The emission of noise occurs during flight operations and non-flight operations directly related to the airport functioning, and aircraft and helicopter handling. Therefore the Airport Management Board would like to take actions aimed at the construction of an acoustic screen at the apron and prepared documentation to the noise monitoring system
2.6 Making a dendrological inventory
Within the airport perimeter there are a number of trees. For safety and environmental reasons, it is necessary to classify them and draw up a detailed dendrological inventory. This will enable to identify those which constitute major flight obstacles.
2.7 Carrying out geological tests for the entire airport
The stage necessary for the project execution is carrying out geological tests. Until recently the Wroclaw airport shared the airfield with a military base. Therefore it did not and still does not have some basic documents. Carrying out geological tests for the entire airport will enable to identify the soil structure and prepare in detail the projects of construction of aprons- where soil structure and load carrying capacity are basic parameters – and all other investment projects planned to be conducted within the airport perimeter.
- External audit
The Project will be executed over the period from January 2009 to December 2011.
The Project has been divided into three major activities: Project management, implementing the project scope and external audit.
Financing:
Project management – 2009 – 50 000 e, 2010 – 30 000e
Implementing the project scope – 2009 – 2 120 000e, 2010 – 300 000e
