At present, the enterprises are required not only to conform to the legal regulations, but also to do their utmost and undertake the social responsibilities of maintaining friendly environment. Aviation industry is high polluting, but it has to exist. As the upgrade of living standard, the airplane isn’t just a transportation method. Under the premise of pursuing flight safety, the passengers are paying more and more attention to the service and flight quality. Hence, it seems quite difficult to improve flight quality in parallel to energy saving and carbon reduction. Then number of flight passengers almost increases by 40% annually all over the world. So airplanes have become the main transportation tool for human beings, v hence, how to reduce carbon emission and save energy has become an inevitable topic for the aviation industry. This study explores how the aviation industry achieves the goal of energy saving and carbon reduction under the premise of not affecting the flight safety. Taking an example of the biggest civil airlines, EVA Airways, the actual practices of energy-saving and carbon reduction as well as the resulting effect were discussed and analyzed; In addition, this study also compared the practice of EVA Airlines with that of other peers in this industry; Finally, the study put forward to possible options and suggestions on how EVA Airways continues to make improvement and be better at carbon reduction.
