Airline Effective Direct Greenhouse Gases Emissions Strategies
This chapter reports the effective direct GHG emissions strategies. To achieve this aim, the flight and the ground support practices of 22 airlines from five regions were investigated. The data used in this chapter was secondary published data in the annual sustainability reports. The data was retrieved from GRI (Global Reporting Initiatives) website. The special tailored data analysis techniques were used for this purpose. The chapter reported eight effective flight operations strategic patterns and two effective ground operations strategic patterns. The strategic patterns of flight operations were two design+ patterns, three rout+ patterns, two operating+ patterns, and one fuel pattern. However, the effective ground operations strategies were two design+ patterns. This chapter helps decision makers and academics alike, since the impact of each action on reducing the direct GHG emissions was reported.
