Abstract :As a mode of transport, aviation has been increasingly preferred each passing day by today\`s society. Although the negative impacts of aviation on the climate are tried to be minimized using developing technology, these negative impacts cannot be eliminated entirely. Therefore, international actors carry out organizations such as United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(UNFCCC);, The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(IPCC);. The International Civil Aviation Organization insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ICAO);, as well as national actors in Türkiye such as the General Directorate of State Airports Authority insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(DHMI);, Directorate General of Civil Aviation insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SHGM);, and the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure develop regulations and practices for civil aviation and climate. All these actors cooperate in coordination and interaction with each other. The study defines the concept of governance, which has been developed based on the concepts of high interaction, harmonious communication, coordination, and cooperation, and describes the 12 principles of good democratic governance. The practices of civil aviation actors on climate change are examined based on governance principles, and the current situation is assessed by making interviews with senior and middle-level executives from the aviation industry.The practices of civil aviation actors on climate change are examined based on governance principles, and the current situation is assessed by making interviews with senior and middle-level executives from the aviation industry.
