    A qualitative assessment of a full-service network airline sustainable energy management: The case of finnair plc
    (World Scientific and Engineering Academy and Society, 2021) Glenn Baxter; Panarat Srisaeng; Graham Wild
    -Airlines are extremely energy intensive. Around the world airlines are increasingly focusing on the environmentally sustainable energy management. Using a qualitative longitudinal case study research approach, this study examines FinnairÕs sustainable energy management over the period 2010 to 2019. The airlineÕs major energy source is jet fuel used for the operation of the airlineÕs aircraft fleet and the electricity which is used to power its facilities located at Helsinki Airport. The study found that FinnairÕs annual jet fuel consumption has grown throughout the study due to the airlineÕs route network and aircraft fleet expansion. The fuel required for ground vehicles has risen reflecting greater operational requirements due to the companyÕs expansion. The annual consumption of electricity and electricity for heating has displayed a general downward trend during the study period. The annual electricity per passenger has also decreased despite the large growth in passenger numbers. Finnair has increased its use of renewable energy sources for its flight and ground operations. A key energy saving strategy has been the acquisition and operation of a modern state-of-the-art, fuel efficient aircraft fleet. © 2021, World Scientific and Engineering Academy and Society.

    Aviation Safety, Freight, and Dangerous Goods Transport by Air
    (Elsevier, 2021) Glenn S. Baxter; Graham Wild
    Air cargo or air freight is an essential element of the global aviation industry, and with the growth of e-commerce and greater internationalization it will continue to grow, along with passenger transportation. Safety in aviation in general is a corner stone of the industry, and this is also true for air cargo operations, which regularly involves the transportation of dangerous goods by air. To facilitate this, international organizations have specified regulatory requirements and technical guidelines. The nature of the air freight, including the historical trends and the key players in the global supply chain, in addition to the requirements for the transportation of dangerous goods by air, are discussed herein. © 2021 Elsevier Ltd.
