| dc.description.abstract | This research aims to explain the differential environmental impacts of executive and commercial aviation by focusing on their equivalent CO2 (eCO2) emissions, thereby addressing a pivotal aspect of aviation's contribution to global warming. The study adopts a mixed-methods approach, blending primary data from direct emissions measurements with secondary information from existing literature and databases. This comprehensive strategy is designed to accurately quantify and compare the emissions from both executive and commercial jets, leveraging advanced analytical techniques to ensure the reliability and validity of findings. This research will unveil distinct disparities in executive and commercial jets' emission profiles. Such findings are expected to enhance our understanding of aviation's environmental impact. By dissecting the specific emission characteristics of each jet type, the study aims to pinpoint areas where emission reduction efforts could be most effectively applied or mitigated. This investigation offers novel insights into the environmental impacts of different aviation practices by explicitly addressing the gap in comparative emission analysis between jet types within the aviation sector. It is expected to demonstrate that considering eCO2 will reflect that business aviation is closer to commercial aviation regarding total environmental impact. Furthermore, this study underscores the importance of nuanced, sector-specific research in the broader context of climate change mitigation. Note to readers: This paper's analysis is based on data from a project managed by two private companies (Concerto Working Group).
