Environmental problems, which continue to exist as a global threat in the world, have recently been frequently discussed both in the media and in academic. It is obvious that enterprises in different sectors in the business world cannot ignore environmental problems. One of the most important of these sectors is the aviation sector. In the sector, there are harmful effects on air, water, soil pollution, natural life and wildlife, especially noise pollution. With the establishment of airports and the start of aviation activities in the sector, it is suggested that construction works, increase in waste, development of industrialization around the airport, rapid consumption of energy resources, growth of residential areas, increase in population should be brought under control with 'Environmental Management System' practices. A green business strategy is being researched in order to successfully manage the environmental management practices applied at airports around the world and to spread environmental awareness throughout the enterprise. Green business strategy refers to the tendency of all business units to integrate environmental issues into business strategy. In this work you can stop the environmental degradation and even the environment etc. As a result of these factors, environmental pollution also increases. Today, the green business strategy is being researched as a phenomenon that can contribute to the successful management of environmental management systems in order to control the environmental pollution effect resulting from the activities at the airports. From this point of view, whether the green business strategy will be an alternative to the success of the airport environmental management system is discussed with the conceptual-theoretical application method.
