height of 100 meter is shown and the secondary tower (right) is the old control tower and operates at this moment as air traffic
controller training facility. The main tower is constructed by Bureau De Weger in cooperation with architect Netherlands
Airports Consultants (NACO) in 1991. In front an Airbus A320-200 of Swiss International Air Lines is taxiing and ready for

Appendix I Country determination
I.I Introduction

This thesis research is focussing on the local geographical, weather, social and building conditions around the
globe. Around the globe 195 different countries exist. These countries are shown in figure I.I, the well-known
world. In order to get reliable and sufficient information as input for the framework and on the other hand
reduce research time, first an investigation has been performed in order to select a handful of countries that
will cover the research scope.

To decrease the total amount to a handful of countries three steps are defined.
In the first step the global air traffic

I.II Phase 1: Air traffic development
I.II.I Welfare per country

One of the aspects is the influence of welfare of the chosen countries. Welfare is described as the economic
and social development of a country which can be expressed in terms of individuals and the society as a whole.
The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is an indicator of the economic welfare and on basis of these values
economic growth can be predicted. The GDP reflects the economic situation of the whole country and to be
able to make comparisons between different countries the GDP has to be expressed in current U.S. dollars per
person. These data are given by the International Monetary Fund, [IMF, 2013]. More extended files are
presented in section I.VI.I.

Table I.I: Top 10 Gross Domestic Product growth in millions per country [IMF, 2013]

Country Units GDP 2018 $ Growth GDP $ Growth in [%] Average growth

[in million] [in million] per year [%]

USA U.S. dollars 21.556.047 4.831.775 28,89 4,82
China U.S. dollars 13.760.435 4.821.108 53,93 8,99
Japan U.S. dollars 5.943.390 936.187 18,70 3,12
Russia U.S. dollars 3.010.421 892.590 42,15 7,02

Germany U.S. dollars 4.360.590 767.352 21,36 3,56
UK U.S. dollars 3.244.944 755.270 30,34 5,06
India U.S. dollars 2.481.175 722.959 41,12 6,85

France U.S. dollars 3.422.404 683.728 24,97 4,16
Brazil U.S. dollars 2.730.232 540.014 24,66 4,11
Korea U.S. dollars 1.702.115 504.609 42,14 7,02

Table I.I gives an overview of the top 10 countries with the highest GDP growth in millions for the upcoming 5
years. Like expected the largest economies of the world are presented in this table, but keep in mind that these
countries don’t has to be necessarily the richest countries. This can be explained with the comparison between
table I.I and table I.II. Table I.II represents the GDP growth in dollars per person per country. This data is
derived by first converting GDP in national currency to U.S. dollars and then dividing it by the total population.
The main reason of the difference between the two tables is the total amount of people per country. Table I.I
represents countries with a high amount of inhabitants and the opposite counts for table I.II. Note that the
United States is the only country listed in both tables.
