Abstract

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a tool employed to assess the environmental implications of a product’s life cycle, including its inputs, outputs, and potential impacts. It assists decision-makers in evaluating major environmental impacts while selecting among various alternatives. This study aims to investigate the current practical resolutions in the airport industry using LCA. There are 20 papers examined under ISO 14040, ReCiPe, CML-IA, TRACI, and Eco-Indicator 99 methods. Due to the limited literature on Airport LCA, we have classified them into six categories: energy usage, infrastructure, building, waste management, transportation, and the overall system. There is a significant gap in studies, with energy generation and operational LCA in airports being promising fields. Given the critical role of the LCA method in comprehending airport environmental impact and promoting sustainable expansion; it is expected that the future research will focus on integrating renewable energy technologies, circular economy principles, and climate change resilience. LCA could be even more effective for guiding environmentally responsible airport construction if future factors are considered.
