An exploration of how sustainability is sought within the international aviation industry. The course takes a cross-sectional approach to aviation, exploring sustainability within the various sectors that make up the air transport system (e.g., air law, aircraft, operations, navigation, airports, and safety). Both the positive and negative impacts of aviation upon the sustainable development goals will be analyzed through reviewing case studies and industry practices. This course includes significant student project teamwork.

  • Was a seminar course. Mostly discussion and exploring ideas in the classroom. I thought it was a great way to learn about the strategies and planning for sustainability in the Aviation industry (primarily the commercial sector). Would recommend this class to anyone in the Environment faculty as many of the concepts that we go over can be interconnected with different industries, not just aviation. If you show up to the seminars, I am certain you will pass the course.
