The aeronautical sector confronts unprecedented challenges to mitigate its environmental impact amid accelerated climate change and stringent regulations. This study’s objective was to design and apply a methodology for evaluating environmental performance at the Cuban Air Navigation Company through a mixed-methods case study. Based on ISO 14001 and 14031 standards, the methodology's design integrated systematic literature review and documentary analysis and was validated using inductive-deductive and systemic approaches. The results, based on three premises and six key indicators, revealed high compliance in environmental objectives (92.3%) and waste management (102%). However, the evaluation also highlighted key areas for improvement, such as electromobility strategies (70% compliance) and the environmental training plan (83.6% compliance). The resulting framework not only enables monitoring environmental practices to ensure regulatory compliance but also serves as a strategic tool for advancing sustainability and driving continuous management improvement.

El sector aeronáutico enfrenta desafíos inéditos para mitigar su impacto ambiental ante un cambio climático acelerado y regulaciones más estrictas. Este estudio diseñó y aplicó una metodología para evaluar el desempeño ambiental en la Empresa Cubana de Navegación Aérea mediante un estudio de caso mixto. La metodología, basada en las normas ISO 14001 y 14031, integró la revisión sistemática de literatura y el análisis documental, y fue validada mediante métodos inductivo-deductivos y sistémicos. Los resultados, a partir de tres premisas y seis indicadores clave, mostraron alto cumplimiento en objetivos ambientales (92,3%) y gestión de residuos (102%), pero también revelaron áreas de mejora como la electromovilidad (70%) y la formación ambiental (83,6%). El marco resultante facilita el monitoreo de prácticas ambientales, el cumplimiento normativo y sirve como herramienta estratégica para promover la sostenibilidad y la mejora continua de la gestión.
