Civil
aviation is defined as all aviation activities carried out for non-military
purposes, such as private, sporting, or commercial. This sector has proliferated
since the late 1940s globally (Addepalli et al., 2018). However, this rapid growth causes environmental
degradation and brings sustainable aviation practices into the national green transition
agendas ( Planès
et al, 2021). This paper examines the concept of sustainability in civil
aviation by (i) describing the historical background of international civil
aviation (in the world and in Turkiye) ii) reviewing the literature on
sustainability in civil aviation (emphasis on international aviation organizations
designing sustainable aviation policies, i.e. ICAO) iii) elaborating the case
of Air France-KLM as a best practice example (Air France-KLM, 2022). This paper
evaluates the relevant breakthroughs of the global civil aviation industry, the
goals of international authorities, and Turkiye's approach to providing suggestions
for harmonizing the Turkish civil aviation industry with the globe. In the
literature, it is seen that solutions to sustainability problems are mostly
sought by referring to technological developments. This study states that;
integrative approaches by the sectoral and policy actors need to be produced to
achieve effective results in sustainable aviation. For this purpose, we made a
comprehensive literature review and content analysis of the relevant documents
and reports to have a snapshot of sustainable aviation practices by analyzing
the related international and national policy documents for sustainable
aviation such as BM ICAO CORSIA and EU Green Deal ( EC, 2022). Then, Air France
KLM Example is elaborated to derive the lessons learned for improving the sustainable
aviation practices in Turkiye.
