This study firstly reviews green transport strategies and alternatives employed by airlines from previous literatures, and then comparing higher adaptable and applicable alternatives for airlines and summarizing different green business models by investigating industrial experts. The green transport strategies include revising the concepts of route planning, improving the use of equipment and power, altering the procedure of flight operation, de-weighting schemes in traffic operation and in cabin, paperless documents, and improving aircraft service on ground. In total, there are 29 sub-strategies affiliated with these 6 strategies. This study used a rank pair-wised comparison (RPC) process to measure the relative weights of compared green strategies and sub-strategies for their rankings. The results show that improvement of equipment and aircraft power plants is the most feasible green strategy. Furthermore, this study used a feasibility-effectiveness analysis (FEA) technique to compare the effectiveness of all sub-strategies for combination carriers and low cost carriers (LCCs). Most of sub-strategies are found to be more effective for combination carriers, but majority of sub-strategies are found to be more feasible for LCCs. |
