“…With the emergence of environmental challenges as the core subject of the present discussion (Dixit et al ., 2023), all sectors are beginning to recognize the importance of sustainability. In the same vein, aviation’s impact on the environment is a growing concern (Mańkowska et al ., 2023), particularly due to the predicted growth in demand for air travel (Laali et al ., 2018; Saini et al ., 2022). Thus, rethinking environmental practices in the airport industry is becoming increasingly important, as there is increasing pressure to adopt more environmental practices in airports and involve airport stakeholders (Kim et al ., 2019).…”

“…Offering infrastructure services while easing international trade, improving supply chain connectivity, managing time-sensitive goods and enabling reverse logistics. Yet, airports are responsible for a wide range of pollutants, including those in the air, water, soil, waste and light (Jia et al ., 2023); hence, ensuring environmental sustainability in airports is crucial for averting deterioration (Mańkowska et al ., 2023).…”

“…Whereas the highest GHG in Africa is found in the NAC (Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Morocco and Sudan), in addition to 40% of carbon emissions originating generated from African countries (Atlas, 2021; Engo, 2021; IEA, 2019). Therefore, these countries are more likely to be adversely affected by climate-changing more than other countries inside the African continent (Fadlallah et al ., 2022), which would be in opposition to international efforts to prevent dangerous climate change and reach net zero carbon by 2050 (Mańkowska et al ., 2023). The sample was gathered from North African passengers who traveled through Egyptian airports; given that Egypt is a major economic hub and has a well-developed aviation industry and infrastructure, it also represents a major producer of CO 2 in NAC.…”

“…Environmental sustainability focuses on the protection of natural resources, biodiversity, green field works and pollution prevention (Atmaca et al ., 2019; Jia et al ., 2023), the distribution of renewable energy sources, recycling awareness, the prevention of global warming and its impacts and the decrease of ecological footprint (Candrianto et al ., 2023). Environmental sustainability initiatives should be prioritized by promoting the best use of airport resources, thus helping to improve climate change and environmental development in general and increase industry profitability (Mańkowska et al ., 2023; Ragbir et al ., 2021). Environmental behavior (EB), which includes individual behavior in the everyday life of airport stakeholders, can contribute to improving the airport’s environmental sustainability (Eid et al ., 2022).…”

PurposeDrawing on the reasoned action theory, this study aims to examine the impact of environmental knowledge (EK) and environmental sustainability performance (EP) on environmental behavior (EB) mediated by environmental attitude (ATT). Furthermore, to examine the moderating effect of environmental advertising (ADD) on the indirect relationship between EP and EB, mediated by ATT on the one hand, and EK on EB, on the other hand, mediated by ATT.Design/methodology/approachThe data were gathered within an international context for passengers from North African countries (NAC) (Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Morocco and Sudan) using primary quantitative data from online and self-administered questionnaires. A total of 1,052 questionnaires were collected from passengers who traveled through Egyptian airports. The collected data were analyzed through covariance-based structural equation modeling.FindingsThe findings indicated that ATT moderates the relationship between environmental knowledge and behavior. In addition, ATT mediates the airports' environmental behavior and environmental sustainability performance. Moreover, ADD moderates the indirect association between EP and individuals' environmental knowledge and behavior through the mediated effect of ATT.Research limitations/implicationsThis research output will help extend the theory’s scope by conceptualizing its abstract ideas using research variables and applying them in NAC countries. This can be a milestone for altering individuals' behavior toward the environment in airports.Practical implicationsThis study aims to assist airport authorities in the development of standards for enhancing environmental performance. Enhancing environmental issues is of utmost importance, especially in the context of airports, which have been a subject of significant environmental concern. This study examined the environmental practices of airport passengers in NAC, given their significant role as the primary source of greenhouse gas emissions on the African continent. The present approach has the potential to be utilized in modifying airport conduct and enhancing stakeholder engagement, specifically within the context of NAC.Social implicationsThe objective of this study is to enhance the relationship between nature and humans by endeavoring to modify human attitudes toward the environment. The objective of this initiative is to bridge the current disparity in the socio-environmental connection by fostering environmental consciousness among individuals who utilize airport facilities. The objective will be accomplished by the construction of a theoretical framework that integrates crucial elements acknowledged for their substantial influence on altering human attitudes, thus fostering a greater sense of environmental consciousness and ultimately improving societal well-being.Originality/valueSince the global supply chain prioritizes environmental transportation systems, this study provides a conceptual framework for airport authorities to develop and create policies to push air passengers' behavior toward environmental practices in NAC.

“…From a provincial government perspective, local authorities should align with national development trends and provide vital support for the green and sustainable development of local airports. Particularly in cities with significant hub airports, there should be a focus on strengthening infrastructure construction and advancing the level of green practices in airport planning, construction, maintenance, ground operations, and energy management [68, 69].…”

The green hub‐and‐spoke airline network (GHSAN) is emerging as a dominant feature due to its excellent economic and environmental‐friendly capabilities. However, environmental GHSAN designs still have some concerns, including single pollutant‐domain oversimplification and lack of comprehensive network‐level operation impacts. This paper proposes a multi‐emission‐driven efficient network design approach for GHSAN, utilizing a system, green, and user threefold optimization methodology. The approach includes a multi‐objective optimization model and a two‐layer solving method. The multi‐objective optimization aims at minimizing multiple emissions, including carbon dioxide, carbonic oxide hydrocarbon, and nitric oxide, while also considering transportation system costs and journey user costs. A two‐layer optimization algorithm is adopted to address different scales of optimization. Real‐world results demonstrate that the proposed method mitigates environmental impact and user costs and increases overall airline density in airline networks. The proposed method can have a 16.29% reduction in green‐fold (10 nodes) and a 12.06% decrease in user costs for the user‐fold (10 nodes). As the number of nodes (15, 25, 50 nodes) and hubs (3, 4, 5, 6, 7 hubs) increase, the genetic algorithm (GA) proves to be more efficient and suitable in large‐scale GHSAN. This work is further significant for the long‐term and sustainable development of the future air transport industry.

The main problem in this paper is a dispute between the government of West Nusa Tenggara Province (NTB) Indonesia, and the government of Central Lombok Regency about the fight to name the airport. This paper aims to explain that the struggle for the name of Lombok International Airport (BIL) to become Zainuddin Abdul Madjid International Airport (BIZAM) in Lombok has become a dispute between Levels 1 and 2 local governments. The form of conflict is that the NTB Level 1 local government wants an airport called BIZAM, while the Central Lombok Level 2 regional government wants BIL. This paper uses in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation methods. The results of this paper show that the conflict occurs because there are planned elements carried out by Levels 1 and 2 local governments that are indirectly affiliated with one particular religious or social group in the fight for airport naming. For this reason, this article implies that the conflict occurs solely because it wants to maintain the identity and for the sake of the self-esteem of each group or socio-religious organization.
