“Green” Sector of the Air Transport of Ukraine Sustainable Development
Santrauka
Harmful impact of global air transport on the environment is evaluated in the article. Global environmental problems and directions for their reduction at the national level are identified. It is established that the most harmful influence for the ecosystem is done by the air transport during performance of logistics processes and operations at the airport. World experience of solving the environmental pollution problems in aviation sector on the basis of principles and methods of “green” logistics is studied. It has been found that Ukrainian airlines are not active enough to use environmental solutions in their activities; the main reason of this is the lack of effective mechanisms for implementation and state support of “green” initiatives. Main tools of sustainable environmental development, which should be implemented in the aviation industry of Ukraine, are proposed. It is proposed a mechanism for formation of a “green” airport in Ukraine. It represents a system of principles, methods and tools of logistics management of production and technological processes as well as airport infrastructure, to reduce their negative impact on the ecosystem and achieve a high level of resource efficiency.
Realization of the system of principles of “green” logistics allows to implement gradually technologies for de-carbonization of the airport depending on its spatial development.
