Abstract: Air transportation is considered as one way to fast, secure and reliable transfer and is a more efficient alternative to long-distance transportation of passengers and goods, etc. Due to growing increase of air travel demand, environmental pollution resulted from it has been increased. The purpose of present study is investigating effective factors on development of green air transport system in Iran and its impact on sustainable development by taking into account the role of macro and politics. In order to data analyze, structural equation modeling based on partial least squares has been applied in PLS. The results of data analysis suggest that developing green air transport system in Iran at confidence level of 95%, affect sustainable development about 0.138. Moreover, the macro and political factors both affect development of green air transport system sustainable development. So that, macro and political factors have a significant impact, respectively at confidence level of 99 and 95%, on the development of green air transport system about 0.681 and on sustainable development, about 0.190.
