The Airport Regions Conference
(ARC) is an association of regional and local authorities
across Europe which have an international airport situated
within or near their territory, and it is currently the only
such body of its kind. The ARC
brings together a wide range of expertise at the interface
of air transport and local and regional policies. A common
concern is to balance the economic benefits generated
by the airports against their environmental impact, notably
the effect on the quality of life of local residents. ARC
works with the European Commissioner for Transport and his
Cabinet and the EC Directorates for Transport, for the
Environment, and for the Regions. The
ARC was set up in 1994. There are currently 31 member
regions, representing a population of over 75 million people.
More than 30 major international airports in Europe are
located in ARC regions, handling over 420 million passengers
per year. For more
