In addition, according to Heathrow Skyport (2011), in July 2011 Finnair operated the first longest commercial biofuel flight in the world, from Amsterdam to Helsinki.

The UAE government, together with the international community must work together to end the current violation of workers’ rights.

Since the development of commercial of air travel, Airline operations have had negative effects on both people’s health and the health of the environment. Because of this many airports, like many other industries, are coming under great pressure to develop greener and more sustainable business models. In the United States, many companies have changed their practices in order to adhere to government regulations, but lately there are a growing number of companies that have been more proactive in their adoption of greener practices. The Chicago O’Hare airport operated by the Chicago Aviation Department, the CDA, is one such organization that has taken upon itself to try to become one of the industry’s leading sustainable companies. They have

Furthermore, as mentioned above the airline industry can safeguard our planet by exercising their corporate social responsibility by “going green”. Air France-KLM is one company in particular that focuses on this issue. For eight consecutive years the Dow Jones Sustainability Index has ranked Air France-KLM transport leader in terms of sustainable development in the airline sector. This merit is awarded to 19 of the most responsible companies in the world, each in their own area of activity. Air France’s environmental efforts reduce 400 tons of waste each year (Amstelveen).

The Director of Aircraft and Engine Analysis could argue against the purchase of

Consequently, another new challenge which the airline industry is currently undergoing is the ability to find a greener solution to fuel so that aviation is not purely dependent on fossil fuels. Some sources of literature have alleged biofuels to not be the answer to cleaner fuels as although the direct emissions from airplanes powered by a biofuel mix may be reduced, the indirect emissions through producing biofuels are significant. Biofuels create a lot of pressures on carbon sinks through the way they are cropped causing strains on the land and rainforests (Bringezu et al, 2009), which adds to the greenhouse effect, furthermore increasing climate change. Due to the size of land required of biofuel production, it can also threaten biodiversity of flora and fauna and
