Reviews"As everyone in Europe and North America knows (apart from some politicians) after this summer, the world's climate is changing as the population of this planet continues its inexorable growth. Paralleling this expansion is the growth of air travel, which has a lot of potential (only 5% of the world's population has flown). While air transport may not yet be the biggest contibutor to pollution, noise, and global warming, it is already one of the most visible, and as one of the fastest growing industries in the world--and one that is vital to the world's economies--will undoubtedly become a major cause for concern. This comprehensive book brings together 30 papers that identify the problems of sustaining air transport at a global level and which offer recommendations."--Airways Magazine, 'Wide-ranging and thorough.'Future Survey'A very comprehensive book which contains vital industry intelligence and foresight, making it an essential information source and analysis for managers, consultants, regulators, researchers, students and especially environmental and government policy-makers.'International Journal of Environmental Studies'...

SynopsisAviation is integral to the global economy but it is also one of the main obstacles to environmentally sustainable development. It is one of the world's fastest growing - and most polluting - industries. What can be done to retain the economic and other benefits it brings, without the associated pollution, noise, congestion and loss of countryside? In this volume, industry, policy and research experts examine how to address the problems, and what it would take to achieve genuinely sustainable aviation - looking at technological, policy and demand-management options. Without far-reaching changes the problems caused by aviation can only multiply and worsen. This work seeks to take an important step in diagnosing the problems and in pointing towards their solutions.
