The Impact of Carbon Footprint on Environmental Sustainability at Cairo International Airport: The Mediating Role of Artificial Intelligence Technologies

This current research highlights the impact of the carbon footprint on achieving environmental sustainability at Cairo International Airport, and explores the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in enhancing this relationship. Through the distribution of 400 electronic questionnaires to airport employees, 354 valid forms were obtained for statistical analysis.The results of structural equation modelling showed that the carbon footprint has a significant effect on environmental sustainability, and that AI technologies play a mediating role in reducing the effects of the carbon footprint.The research recommends the necessity of using AI technologies to improve airport efficiency and reduce carbon emissions to maintain environment sustainability , while fostering cooperation among stakeholders and increasing community awareness about the carbon footprint and its impact on achieving the sustainability. This can be achieved by establishing a system for monitoring carbon emissions, utilising renewable energy sources, and encouraging sustainable behaviours among travellers and local communities.
