Abstract

Retaining and building social licence is critical to an airport’s success, but getting the attention of elected officials is becoming harder, particularly given the clamour of voices in the pandemic. Built from data that the airport likely already has, the Airport Relevance Index (ARI) is an affordable, quick and effective way of communicating the importance of the airport to politicians at the geographic level that means the most to them: their ward, district or riding. Using a case study of Toronto Pearson International Airport, an ARI is constructed to show how important the airport is to employment, business competitiveness and emissions reduction targets at the local level. Other dimensions can be easily added depending on the circumstances.
