Abstract
International civil aviation is considered as a highly regulated industry to achieve safety standards. However, mandatory regulation is not imposed on its environmental impact. Carbon emission in aviation can be categorized as, emission from aircraft and emission from airport operations. Many aviation bodies neglect the emission from airport operations. Many of the emission sources that have received inadequate attention have a significant impact on local air quality at the airport operation. Existing literature sparsely addressed the emission from airport operation. The research aimed to identify the emission inventory at an international airport and to assess the level of carbon emission from those sources while identifying the requirement of measuring it. A methodology was developed to evaluate the relative impacts of emission sources in airport operations. Bandaranaike International Airport, Sri Lanka (BIA), was taken as a case for developing the methodology. The outcome proved with a time series modelling, that the carbon emission from airport operation cannot be negligible when heading towards green aviation.
