Introduction to Airline Green Operations Strategy

Abstract

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.
