Airlines and other aviation related businesses are investing much in making the transportation safer and more convenient. A major concern of the aviation industry is also to make environment free from the pollution generated through aviation operations. Waste is generated at airports in a great magnitude. The main focus of the research was to determine waste management of solid waste generated at terminal building of Allama Iqbal International Airport, Lahore. To get the relevant information, investigators visited the airport and through personal observations and interviews the data was gathered. The data comprised of waste management process and present and future objectives set regarding the environmental policy at the airport. Five airports were considered in literature review which had done some valuable work regarding waste management and were indulged in environment friendly activities. Researchers also suggested some processes to be added to the waste management system and also recommended the continuous monitoring of the waste management system at the airport to ensure the desired results are obtained. For this purpose, all the authorities, stakeholders and employees will have to pay attention to the environmental policy and meet all the targets set by the airport authorities.
