Abstract

As the US Aviation Climate Action Plan sets out to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, it becomes important to understand how airports in the US view sustainability in the aftermath of COVID-19 and the novel sustainable practices they have implemented. The authors have recently undertaken a study to explore management practices and emerging technologies utilized by airports in addressing these challenges. This paper explores the current sustainability practices utilized at western US airports and the use of various types of technologies and solutions that can have positive impacts on improving the sustainable operations of airports of different sizes. The regulatory pressures in the West help push forward new solutions and techniques and make this study significant for all airports across the US. The survey results for 30 airports provide important categorical insights into the status of sustainability management practices and the use of technologies and other solutions.
