Alternative site safe distance

We are planning to build a Secondary Data Center for xxxxxx the current distance is only less than kilometre and in a there will be 20 flights will come and go it is is xxxxx – please advise

Answer: Placing a data center near an airport never is a good idea, but if you do not have alternative, you should consider placing the data center out of the airport's flight paths and at a distance where air planes still are in a good altitude, starting landing procedures (something between 20 and 100 miles for large air crafts, and a minimum of 3 miles for small ones). this way you reduce likelihood to almost the same as for other builds being hit in case of a disaster.

Impacts related to an incident involving an air craft goes from total destruction of the site, to interruption of operations because support services are disrupted (e.g., power lines, water supply, etc.)
