REFLECTION AND ALTERNATIVE RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Reflection: I am thankful that I got this chance to do an investigation over the ways
through which airlines can reduce air pollution by using Modern technology. This is an
interesting topic that helped me by enhancing my knowledge about the airline industry and
impact of air pollution on overall industry. This understanding and knowledge helped me in my
future growth and success. Despite of all this by doing this dissertation I also become more
capable to develop my knowledge about certain kind of research techniques, tools and methods
that can be applied in order to collect, analyse and interpret information about the topic
effectively. While doing this research I made use of quantitative means of research as it
supported me in performing detailed study. Along with this, I also learned regarding the several
sources that were applied to collect primary and secondary data about the study. Within a
research I used both secondary as well as primary sources of data collection. I used questionnaire
for collecting primary information and for gathering secondary data, I followed number of

sources such as magazines, articles etc. Both types of sources supported me by providing
detailed as well as reliable information regarding the impact of air pollution and strategies by
which this issue can be overcome. Apart from this, by performing this investigation I also faced
number of challenges which are lack of time, unethical behaviour from respondents side,
improper amount of cost, lack of resources etc. These challenges have negative impact on my
performance when I require to complete this dissertation timely and ethically. To overcome this
challenges I followed ethical consideration that supported me by overcoming impact of unethical
behaviour of respondents. For managing time I used Gantt chart as it supported my by giving
accurate information about the starting and ending data of dissertation.
Alternative research methodology : In order to collected the data for this dissertation I
used questionnaire as it assist me in gathering of larger data in less possible time period. This is
so because the fund as well as time which is given to me was not sufficient but as the current
topic was wide I have to collect data from group of people so that it become more easier to show
the actual data or justification about the aims and objectives of investigation. But in future I
again acquire a possibility to execute research over such study I would use interview as an
effective and alternative method of research. Main reason for using interview in future as it give
reliable data about the field of study in reliable as well as valid way.

issue of climate effects by the airline industry, modern technology must be applied in designing
planes to make them more effective and efficient. Along with this, a breakthrough in usage of
another kind of fuel i.e. greener, like biofuels, solar panels, batteries and hydrogen, could save
the global from the humiliation of the environment by the aircraft experts running on kerosene.
Fresh air technology centre: This is consider another strategy that will be used by
airline industry. This strategy have direct impact on performance of an organisation as well as
clean air environment. By implementing this strategy, Airline will be more capable to do its
services without harming environment. There are certain technology centre for clean air such as
electrostatic precipitation, fabric fitters, wet scrubbers etc. With the help of this technology,
airline industry more able to give better services and other resources that is more effective in
preventing air pollution.
Utilisation of Fuels made from cooking oil, sugar cane, and biomass: This is also being
considered as another recommendation that can be given to Aviation industry is that, it could

effectively take into consideration of fuel which is specifically made up of sugar cane, biomass
along with the cooking oil. However, this is gonna cost much to the industry but if it is thought
for a longer term, then it will deliver appropriate benefits to both the airlines and it will also save
the natural environment as well from air pollution that is being emitted at current position or
situation.
Engines feature lighter materials, added gear: This is also said to be another crucial
recommendation, that can be given where Airplane makers are utilizing more eco-friendly
motors in new plug planes. In June, Boeing started creation of the 737 MAX and expects
introductory experimental drills one year from now. The single-walkway planes use CFM
International's new LEAP 1-B motor which has a light-weight carbon fiber fan and is up to 15
percent more eco-friendly than current models. Not to be beaten, Airbus is making the single-
walkway A320neo stream with either a CFM motor or another Pratt and Whitney one that has an
additional rigging. Airbus has mentioned that, it has just tried the stream with the two motors and
plans to start conveyances in the not so distant future. The stream utilizes 20 percent less fuel for
each front seat as a result of the motor and different highlights.
