"Aviation and Sustainability delivers a rigorous and forward-looking perspective on one of the most complex transformations in global industries. It connects regulatory developments, technological pathways and market dynamics in a way that is both insightful and actionable. An excellent resource for leaders seeking orientation in a rapidly evolving environment." Florian Dehne, Partner at Roland Berger, Travel and Logistics, Global Lead Aviation"By integrating environmental, social, and governance dimensions within a coherent industry-specific framework, the authors provide aviation managers and students with something too often missing from the sustainability literature: a realistic account of the uncertainties, trade-offs, and strategic tensions that define this sector. The chapters on regulation, reporting, and strategic management are particularly valuable, offering clarity without oversimplification. I recommend it without hesitation to aviation management programmes and to any professional seeking to engage seriously with sustainability as a strategic priority."
