In the economics domain ENVISA provides advanced research on regulatory, financial and economic aspects of air transportation. Our activities cover a full set of economic aspects, including value chain analysis, cost-benefit analysis, capacity management and environmental effectiveness. We also perform trade-off assessments using sophisticated in-house tools and databases.

In the field of sustainability, ENVISA conducts advanced studies to asses the social, economic and environmental impact of all stakeholders in the aviation sector.
