Aviation and Sustainability: Management, Technologies and Accountability

By adopting a holistic ESG perspective, the book integrates environmental impacts such as climate change and noise, social issues including equity, accessibility and labour conditions, and governance aspects like regulation, reporting and stakeholder accountability. Rather than presenting simplified solutions, it highlights trade-offs, uncertainties and long-term path dependencies that shape strategic decision-making in aviation. The structured approach combines conceptual foundations with industry-specific insights, covering regulation, technology, sustainability reporting and strategic management practices.

The book is relevant for all managers in the aviation industry, whether they work for airlines, airports, air traffic control organisations, regulatory authorities or political decision-makers. It is particularly important for environmental managers throughout the aviation industry, but also for managers at a senior level, as sustainability is becoming a strategic issue of growing importance. In addition, the book is valuable for students in aviation management programmes as well as for students in related fields such as aeronautical engineering and tourism management.
