Abstract
This paper presents a calculation concerning the economic
impacts of extreme weather events for the European
aviation industry. These impacts were calculated for
current situation and for future situation in 2040.
Future calculations were based on climate change
scenarios in terms of changes in probabilities for
extreme weather events occurrence. Official figures for
the value of time in the aviation industry and data from
airport flight schedule as well as type of fleet were
used to calculate the costs for major European airports.
The airports selected also represent different climate
zones, where current and future phenomena and frequency
are diverging. Findings show that aviation industry is
concerned with time costs affecting passengers, and costs
of cancellations of flights on operators
