Abstract

Green development is an economic development approach aimed at efficiency, harmony, and sustainability. Many countries regard the green development of civil aviation as an important economic strategy and have taken a series of measures to reduce its environmental impact. China has also released aseries of policies to promote the green development of the civil aviation industry. Herein, we focus on the implementation of the civil aviation green development policy of China using the PMC index model to evaluate the structure, characteristics, and effectiveness of the policy to make suggestions on improving the policy system. Based on the PMC index scores of the nine primary variables of the sample, the content and subject of the civil aviation green development policy formulation are relatively scientific and comprehensive. China civil aviation green development policy has more room for development in terms of policy incentives and policy functions. This study also provides suggestions for improving the efficiency ofthe policy.
