Green initiative to reduce carbon emission for aeroplanes using Malaysia Airlines Berhad as a case study / Indera Shah Reza Govinathan

A case study was carried out in Malaysia Airlines Berhad (MAB) to evaluate the green initiatives carried out to reduce CO₂ emission. The reduction in fuel consumption relatively reduces the CO₂ emission thus having mutual benefits both financially and environmentally. The four-pillar strategies c...
