Abstract

In 2015, the United Nations member states unanimously adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals as a part the Agenda for Sustainable Development, with a target completion date of 2030. Of these, (9) Industry Innovation and Infrastructure, (12) Responsible Production and Consumption, and (13) Climate Change have direct links to transportation and to aviation. One goal, (5) Gender Equality has especially powerful connections to and impacts on air transport. This paper will discuss the relationship between sustainability, gender equity, and air transport and make recommendations for a future of transport that is economically, socially, financially, and environmentally more sustainable.
