“…Past analyses of the impacts of these policies either focus on air travel as a whole (Wit et al, 2005) or aggregate all business travel (Lu, 2009). In contrast, we concentrate on the impact of these scenarios on the travel patterns of individual companies using travel data provided by Hogg Robinson Group Corporate Travel, one of the largest global business travel providers.…”

The contribution of aviation to global carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions is projected to triple by 2050. As nations strive to meet CO 2 reduction targets, policy interventions to manage the growth of emissions arising from air travel are likely. Here, we investigate the potential influence of aviation emissions reduction policies on the business travel patterns of individual corporations. Using travel data from six UK-based companies, we find that increased ticket prices can deliver substantial emissions cuts, particularly on premium class flights, and may provide strong financial incentives to seek modal and/or technological alternatives to flying. We also find that corporations from different business sectors vary in their responsiveness to a range of policy options. Finally, we examine questionnaire data to determine whether companies more broadly are going beyond compliance to mitigate their environmental impact by managing travel-related emissions voluntarily. Although many corporations are measuring and reporting emissions, only a limited number are willing to implement in-house reduction policies prior to regulation.

“…In general, this demand reaction depends on the price elasticities of demand. As empirical data of the price elasticities of demand for air services shows a broad range of possible figures (Oum et al, 1990;Oum et al, 1992;Lu, 2009), three cases of price elasticities have been analysed alternatively:…”

Commencing in 2012, emissions from fl ights departing from or arriving at airports within the European Union (EU) will be covered under the EU emissions trading scheme (ETS). This research analyzes the fi nancial and ecological impacts of the ETS for the Lufthansa Group using a simulation model built on the now-fi xed system design. The results show that while ecological impacts are modest in the fi rst years after introduction, the ETS will result in much higher emission reductions in the medium and long term. These ecological benefi ts come at the expense of increased fi nancial impacts. This paper argues that the ETS will have a variety of managerial implications at the company level in fi elds such as environmental monitoring, fi nancial risk management and marketing.
