“…Hagmann et al (2015) studied passenger perceptions and airline choice in Germany and found the green image's positive impact on the choice of airline. In particular, almost all participants in the study were willing to pay up to 10 percent more for a greener flight with fewer carbon dioxide emissions.…”

An Investigation of Passengers’ Psychological Benefits from Green Brands in an Environmentally Friendly Airline Context: The Moderating Role of Gender

Abstract:In recent years, as natural environmental problems have become more serious, environmentally friendly airlines have been attracting attention from many practitioners and scholars. The purpose of this study was to apply the concept of psychological benefits of green brands in an environmentally friendly airline context. Based on the theoretical relationships between the conceptual constructs, a model was developed and then evaluated using data collected from 322 airline passengers in Korea. The results indicated that the three sub-dimensions of psychological benefits of green brands (i.e. warm glow, self-expressive benefits and nature experiences) help to enhance the overall image of an environmentally friendly airline. Furthermore, the overall image plays an important role in the formation of three outcome variables: intentions to use, word-of-mouth intentions and willingness to pay more. Lastly, gender moderates the relationship between overall image and intentions to use.

“…The main target of inclusion of aviation to EU ETS is to reduce aviation CO2 emissions by a cap system to 5% below the 2006 level, by 2020 (J. Scheelhaase, Grimme, and Schaefer, 2010;European Commission, 2013b;Hagmann, Semeijn, and Vellenga, 2015). The EU ETS is a "cap and trade" scheme.…”

“…ICAO ( Studies of Hagmann, Semeijn, and Vellenga (2015) show that almost every other passenger is interested in paying more for a more "eco-friendly flight". This recent analysis can encourage airlines to be more active in implementation of green initiatives and carbon offsetting schemes.…”

“…Airlines can work on their green image and use it as competitive advantage. Airlines should try to benefit from passengers participation by applying innovative carbon offsetting initiatives (Hagmann et al 2015). For instance an innovative proposal by British Conservative Party was "Green Miles Scheme" to offer a "Green Air Miles Allowance" within this framework people get an allowance for a short-haul flight a year and for longer trips they will be charged by higher tax rates (Mayor & Tol 2008).…”

Analysis of evolution of commercial air traffic CO2 emissions in the European Union

The environmental sustainability of the air transport industry, as a key player in global social and economic development, has become a major issue in the agenda of the industry´s stakeholders during the past decade. On both international and local levels, policy makers, scientists and environmentalists, manufacturers and airlines have begun to collaborate on fuel efficiency improvements and greenhouse gas emissions reductions in the sector.This dissertation evaluates the structure and distribution of air traffic in European Union member states. The data presented here has been extracted from the statistical office of the European Union (Eurostat) and databases compiled by the The European Organization for the Safety of Air Navigation (EUROCONTROL). The focus of this study is on commercial air traffic and CO2 emissions in the European Union in 2010 and its evolution through 2013.The extracted data for all EU countries consist of variables such as: number of flights, number of passengers, freight tonnes, revenue passenger kilometers (RPKs) and revenue tonne kilometers (RTKs), fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The majority of EU air transport traffic is concentrated in six countries: France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Spain and The United Kingdom, which in 2010 represented approximately two thirds of the total EU flights. The data is then segmented per distance bands, at intervals of 500 km to see the concentration of traffic in different distance bands and compare their share with other modes of transport. The fuel efficiency trend in the six largest EU aviation markets from 2010 to 2013 is analyzed and the potential reasons for the changes are investigated. The evolution in the airline fleet composition during the last decade is presented as one of the reasons for the improvement in fuel efficiency, measured by fuel efficiency parameter measuring fuel consumption per RTK (passengers + freight). Additionally, the differences in terms of fuel efficiency among the various airline business models (network carriers, low cost carriers, etc.) and aircraft types are studied. Moreover, future CO2 emissions are projected, taking into consideration three different traffic growth and efficiency improvement scenarios.The results of this analysis indicate a slight reduction in the traffic, both for passengers and freight about (-0.8%) but more importantly, a reduction in CO2 emissions (-4.3%), which is the result of an improvement in fuel efficiency parameters (-3.5%) during these three years. There has been a relevant change in the fleet composition in the last ten years, with the replacement of older models for more efficient ones, and a shift to larger aircraft, particularly in the regional segment. Traffic has decreased in shorter distances (internal EU traffic), but increased in more efficient long-range flights (extra-EU traffic), resulting also in an improvement in the efficiency parameters as average aircraft size and stage length increases. This investigation concludes that technological efficiency in...
