معرفی
Professor Lucy Budd holds the position of Professor of Air Transport Management at Leicester Castle Business School, De Montfort University. Her research focuses on air transport management, airport environmental practices, aviation policy, gender studies in aviation, and sustainable urban mobility solutions. She has contributed extensively to understanding aeromobility geographies, airport ground access optimization, and the socio-economic impacts of aviation.
Her expertise spans airport environmental management, including carbon reduction strategies and noise pollution mitigation. She has investigated gender dynamics in aviation professions, particularly the experiences of female pilots, and explored the socio-cultural dimensions of air travel through studies on aeromobility geographies and elite travel patterns. Her work also addresses urban logistics challenges and the role of public transport in reducing airport-related carbon emissions.
Professor Budd has published widely on topics such as low-cost airline operations, air cargo networks, and the impact of workplace parking policies on urban mobility. She has led research on aviation biofuel commercialization and the economic implications of airport lease agreements. Her contributions include analyses of post-pandemic aviation recovery, sustainable aviation futures, and the intersection of technology adoption with passenger behavior in airports.
Notably, her work bridges academic research with practical policy recommendations, addressing issues such as airport capacity planning, noise complaint management, and the equitable implementation of transport policies like the Workplace Parking Levy. She maintains active engagement with industry stakeholders and policy makers to inform evidence-based decisions in the aviation sector.
