    • Air transport has become an essential means of mobility in globalised societies. It has developed very rapidly during the last decades. Airports support services with regards to airside and landside operations, while modern airports-hubs have extended facilities, consisting an important part of the economy. It is well understood that at the same time, its negative impacts on the environment and local societies are visible. It becomes critical to achieve sustainable aviation and thus balance the economic, ecological and social impacts. The new challenge that is brought is to establish a sustainable airport into the context of a sustainable management approach within the airport’s organisation. The present dissertation examines an efficient airport management into the context of the challenge of “sustainability”. The new challenge referes to the airport management of a sustainable airport. Though, it will be assessed the importance for an airport organization of having a sustainability vision and a sustainable mission statement that will fuel the development of a sustainability strategy. For achieving a sustainable airport, a holistic and integrated managerial approach should be adopted. The airport’s managerial approach is further analysed, regarding the sustainability goals and objectives and the sustainability strategy within the organization. Case studies are also presented that highlight the different ways of managing sustainable airports, according to each airport’s organization and applied management processs. This report also presents the impact of Covid-19 on airports and discusses how an airport in the post Covid-19 era, will achieve to manage new challenges. The methodology applied for this report, was based on literature review and its analysis.
