ISASI has conducted Reachout Workshops since 2001, which provide subject-orientated training to individuals, government officials, and organizations responsible for aspects of air safety in regions where substantial gains for accident prevention may occur. To date, nearly 2,950 individuals have attended. The program is designed to assist aviation professionals who may not be able to attend formal training due to monetary or travel restrictions.

    Master Thesis Sustainability reporting in the airline industry: a comparative case study analysis of four selected European passenger airlines and their countries of registration on the basis of the airlines’ annual reports and sustainability report from 2018 Student: Laura Vani Kesore (s2015323) [email protected] Study program: Public Administration M.Sc. First Supervisor: Prof. Dr. René Torenvlied [email protected] Second Supervisor: Dr. Ringo Ossewaarde [email protected] Master Thesis 24 August 2020 University of Twente, Faculty of Behavioural, Management and Social Sciences Drienerlolaan 5 7522 NB Enschede, NL Abstract Sustainability reporting for airlines is becoming more and more important. The driving forces are the external and internal pressures, such as demand from the public and society, from governments, stakeholders and shareholders, as well as from NGOs, activists, and the industry- intern economic competition between the airlines. Within the scope of this research, the main focus was on the research question: How can the variation in the claims of sustainable measures reported in the 2018 annual reports and sustainability reports by four different European airlines be explained from the characteristics of the airlines and of the countries in which the airlines are registered?. The ecosystem for the conducted analyses consists of four airlines from four different countries in the European Union. Seven sustainability parameters were chosen in order to objectively analyze the sustainability reporting of the airlines and of their countries of registrations. The parameters are: (I) alternative fuel, (II) CORSIA, (III) aviation tax, (IV) aircraft age, (V) aircraft design, (VI) Dow Jones Sustainability Index, and (VII) atmosfair Airline Index.

  • University of the Aegean Shipping, Trade and Transport Department
    University of the Aegean Shipping, Trade and Transport Department Georgia Tsitsou “High-speed rail and air transport competition: The case of Athens – Thessaloniki” 16/10/2019 Research Dissertation for the Master Program “Shipping, Trade and Transport Department – ΝΑΜΕ” Author: Georgia Tsitsou Supervisor: Seraphim Kapros Chios 1 Abstract This research dissertation analyses the potential of the high speed train to compete with the airline market. The context proposed is hypothetical, given that the high speed train alternative is not yet available on the route subject to research. In order to model passenger preferences relative to the characteristics of the alternatives, experimental design techniques are applied, which allow for the design of the market that will be evaluated by current airline passengers. Based upon the information collected, modal choices are analysed, estimating a logit model with both alternatives. Demand modelling allows us to predict the substitutability level of the high speed train in comparison with the plane for the city pair Athens – Thessaloniki and in reverse, for different types of traveler. The results obtained confirm that the high speed train will have an important impact on the airline market. The simulation of different policies related to service variables stresses the fact that this impact will mainly depend on the relation gender – price, age – time, occupancy – accuracy/ reliability and reasons for travelling – accuracy/ reliability. In contrast, in the city pair Thessaloniki – Athens, there is statistically significant correlation between gender and fewer stops or better connections and reason for travelling and price. Suggestions that were provided at the final part of the dissertation concentrate on gaining a better overview of passengers’ preference for each mode of transport and needs by conducting a respective research in train platforms.

However, higher education INTRODUCTION has missed so far this export opportunity. Public universities AVIATION INDUSTRY: THE GENERAL CONTEXT and technological educational institutes have very limited The aviation industry continues to grow, despite economic undergraduate offerings in the fields of aeronautical engineering and aircraft maintenance technology, respectively. These and other issues affecting economic development in many programs are offered only in the local language, practically parts of the world. The global aviation workforce counts with restricting them to the indigenous market. Postgraduate approximately 10 million people acting directly in the industry offerings are currently inexistent. This study proposes a and nearly 63 million people in support of the industry, including generic model for undergraduate and postgraduate aviation programs. This model, aligning with the world’s best practice tourism services (ATAG 2016).
