Abstract
Purpose. The paper presents the analysis of the aviation impacts on the environment and the recommendations on development of environmental policy for airlines aimed at environmental performance improvement. The analysis of the latest research and publications. The problems of aviation interaction with environment are provided with targeted research efforts by all major regulators of the industry, but it is also important to analyze the current environmental po licies of airlines to get insights of how airlines understand the environmental problems of their in dustry and evaluate their willingness to solve them.. The modern trends in aviation development. The world passenger air transportations are expected to grow up to 2030s.

The analysis of environmental impacts of aviation. The growth of aviation raises the problem of en vironmental impacts, including contribution to climate changes; pollution of the ground atmosphere, soils and surface waters; noise pollution; wastes accumulation; threats to the habita ts and diversity; reduction of arable lands; consumption of water and energy; electro-magnetic pollutio n; health effects, etc. The purpose and essence of environmental policy for airlines.
