Abstract
Air transportation, with the fastest speed, the highest reliability, and the best level of safety, is still one of the main methods of long-distance passenger transportation and time-constrained transportation. Due to the high costs in fuel and maintenance, and limited transportation capacities, it becomes the most expensive type of transportation. However, the operational support for air transportation inevitable brings a lot of energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Both the in sky emissions and on-ground emissions would together generate great air pollution issues for airlines. As the core parts of airline operations, both fleet management and energy management are important for airline groups to take continual sustainable optimizations. This paper would adopt some Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to benchmark some Chinese and overseas airline groups’ environmental-related figures and to evaluate their environmental performance situation.
