The traffic infrastructure in the vicinity of large airports is often very well developed, and, therefore, supports the establishment of significant industrial development. Regional or overall worldwide air traffic accessibility is an important aspect of site choice for many companies. Since air traffic has constantly increased in recent years, this has lead to the presumption that the risk of aircraft crashes in areas near airports is also greater than before. However, the risk of accidents in the neighborhood of an airport can be minimized by implementing some limitations.
