Özet

Abstract: In recent years, the world has started to grapple with the climate crisis and the concept of environmental sustainability has gained importance in every field. The concept of sustainability in aviation has also brought the concept of environmental performance. While the environmental performance of airline companies is being measured voluntarily today, it will be measured mandatory in the future. Global strategic alliances affect member airlines in various ways and levels in this regard. Membership of global alliances may have the potential to contribute positively to more environmentally sustainable aviation in the framework of airlines operations. In addition, global alliances have common goals for their members to contribute to environmentally sustainable aviation and share these with their stakeholders. In this study, we evaluate the prospective effects of Oneworld Alliance on its members' environmental performance, focusing on the impact of joint sustainability commitment of the alliance on its members’ environmental efforts.
