Determinants of Green Practices Adoption Behaviours Amongst Airline Passengers in Malaysia

Previous studies on green practices in airline industry have been devoted to observing efforts to reduce cost, drivers influencing environmental commitment and passenger perceptions of the green image associated with airlines. Scant research exists on addressing airline passenger’s attitude and b...
