This paper presents a modeling framework for simulating European airline decarbonization pathways using a System Dynamics (SD) approach. Drawing on climate science, European Union (EU) and&nbsp; International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) regulatory instruments, and empirical sustainability reporting, the framework specifies geographic, temporal, institutional, and sectoral boundaries; core entities (airlines, fleets, fuel mix, demand, policy instruments); key processes (traffic dynamics, fleet renewal, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) deployment, and carbon pricing); and data inputs and outputs from publicly available airline and regulatory reporting. Informed by a European airline\u2019s 2024 sustainability reporting, the framework establishes causal relationships across sub-processes governing airline emissions, revealing the dynamics shaping GHG performance under policy, technical, and disruption scenarios. Results provide a replicable, software-independent foundation for simulation implementation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The paper titled &#8220;Airline Decarbonization Pathways Using System Dynamics: A Conceptual Simulation Framework&#8221; has been accepted and it is in the process of final publication by the organization of the 2026 Winter Simulation Conference.
