Airline Green Operations Strategy

This chapter recommends future improvement on airline green operations strategy patterns. To achieve this aim, the ineffective green operations strategy of 12 airlines from five regions were analyzed, and changes on the ineffective strategies have been recommended. The average overall index of all green indicators will be improved to be positive. All indices of all regions will be improved to be positive. The number of effective patterns after improvement will be seven. In addition, the green indices achieved after improvement will be moderate. This chapter helps the decision makers and the academics alike. The academics have in-depth results about the most effective strategy patterns that could be utilized to develop more extended theoretical models. The experts in the industry have a clear idea about the recommended effective strategy patterns that could be adopted.

Airline Effective Green Operations Strategy Patterns

This chapter reports airline effective green operations strategy patterns adopted by each region. To achieve this aim, green practices of 23 airlines from five regions were investigated. The data used in this chapter was the effective green operations strategy that adopted by each airline, which is the result of the previous chapter. The chapter reported the effective green strategy patterns that adopted by each region. The effectiveness of these strategy patterns was moderate in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and North America, but high in South America. This chapter helps decision makers and academics alike, since the decision makers can adopt the most effective patterns. In addition, the academics have in-depth insight about the green strategy patterns that adopted by each region, so the propositions and hypotheses of future researches could be formulated according to the results of this study.

Airline Effective Noise Management Strategies

This chapter reports the effective noise management strategies of the airlines. To achieve this aim, the practices of 18 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 17 effective strategic patterns. The strategic patterns were seven hybrid patterns, four conformance with ICAO standards patterns, two flights operating patterns, one conformance with FAA standards pattern, and three aircraft design patterns. This chapter helps the decision makers and the academics alike.

Airline Effective Water Consumption Strategies

This chapter reports the effective water consumption strategies. To achieve this aim, the water saving practices of 14 airlines from four regions were investigated. The data used in this chapter was a 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. This chapter reported five effective strategic patterns. The strategic patterns were two facilities and buildings water saving, one facilities and buildings water recycling and recovery pattern, and two hybrid strategic patterns. This chapter helps the decision makers and the academics alike, since the impact of each action on reducing the water consumption under each action category of each pattern was reported.

Airline Effective Waste Management Strategies

This chapter reports the effective wastes management strategies. To achieve this aim, the waste management practices of 14 airlines from four regions were investigated. The data used in this chapter was a 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 four on-board and ground strategy patterns and three hybrid patterns. Hybrid strategy patterns were better ranked than the most of on-board and ground strategy patterns. This chapter helps the decision makers and the academics alike, since the impact of each action under each action category of each pattern on wastes reduction was reported.

Introduction to Airline Green Operations Strategy

This chapter introduces this book. To achieve this aim, this chapter discussed the environmental initiatives and challenges of airlines. Then, a general introduction of green operations strategy configuration and content was presented. Finally, the research gaps and contributions of the book were discussed. This book aimed to bridge the current research gaps by reporting the effective green operations strategy in reducing direct GHG emissions, indirect GHG emissions, waste, water consumption, and noise. Moreover, the book reports the effective strategy patterns at case and regional levels. Finally, the book recommends some changes in the current ineffective green operations strategy patterns to have more effective strategy patterns in the future.

Airline Effective Indirect Greenhouse Gases Emissions Strategies

This chapter reports the effective indirect GHG2 emissions strategies. To achieve this aim, the practices of 18 airlines from five regions were investigated. The data used in this chapter was the 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. This chapter reported eight effective strategic patterns. The strategic patterns were four energy saving+ patterns, two sustainable energy+ patterns, one replacing facilities pattern, and one accreditation+ pattern. This chapter helps decision makers and academics alike, since the impact of effective actions on reducing the indirect GHG2 emissions of each pattern were reported.

Airline Effective Green Operations Strategy Patterns

This chapter reports the effective green operations strategy patterns. To achieve this aim, the green operations strategy patterns of 23 airlines from five regions were investigated. This chapter depended on the results of previous chapters. Accordingly, the reported effective green operations strategy under each indicator was used to report the effective green operations strategy patterns. The special tailored data analysis techniques were used for this purpose. The chapter reported eight effective strategy patterns, the strategy patterns were water management, waste management+, GHG and noise management, GHG emissions, GHG waste and noise, GHG and water management+, do all and noise management. This chapter helps the decision makers and the academics alike since all effective patterns were identified.

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.
