Stakeholder Engagement: A Mechanism for Sustainable Aviation

Abstract
The aviation sector has mixed impacts on economic development and environmental degradation. Market instruments and regulations are not always sufficient to balance these conflicting demands. Stakeholder engagement has been recognised as a possible non-market and non-regulatory mechanism that could complement both market instruments and regulations. This paper provides a stakeholder engagement framework to support airport companies in formulating and implementing strategies for sustainable airport development and suggests a practice guide to operationalise the framework.
