This paper adopts the mixed methods of literature survey, expert panel discussion and questionnaire, and makes use of the Likert scale with an aim to select the connotation of green airport from four aspects including resource saving, environment friendliness, efficient operation and people-orientation. An ordered multi-class regression model was used as well to analyze the main factors affecting the development of green airports. According to the results of the study, coordinating airport planning and construction, airspace system reform, APU replacement, and “oil-to-electricity” of airport vehicles are factors that are significantly effective in the establishment of a green airport. The findings of the present study provide both theoretical support and empirical evidence for the design demonstration and interpretation of green airport policies.
