Abstract

This study is based on a survey of the environmental reports of a sample of airlines in Europe and the Asia Pacific region to identify the status and progress of environmental reporting. The findings reveal that only airlines in 12 countries have published standalone environmental reports. These reports were examined. Looking at 16 elements in the environmental reports. It was found that most elements were mentioned in the reports but that the definition of fuel efficiency in the environmental performance element differed between them making benchmarking a problem.
