Description	The sustainability of air transport systems has become increasingly important issue over time for many internal and external actors/stakeholders involved. In general the air transport system can be considered sustainable if its overall social-economic effects as benefits exceed its impacts as costs on the environment and society at both global and regional/local scale under conditions of continuous growth in the medium- to long-term period. The benefits generally relate to the system's contribution to GDP (Gross Domestic Product) through direct, indirect internal and external employment, trade, and tourism. The costs as externalities are those from the fuel consumption and emissions of GHG (Green House Gases), land use, waste, congestion and delays, noise, and traffic incidents/accidents, i.e., safety. This Chapter describes the indicator systems consisting of indicators of particular above-mentioned effects and impacts of the air transport system on the society and environment relevant for the particular actors/stakeholders and examples of their assessing. In addition, an example of the analytical modelling of implementing the alternative fuels according to the “what-if” scenario approach and quantification of their impacts on the air transport system's global emissions of GHG in the medium- to long-term (future) period is elaborated.
