| Where do aviation and aerospace fit into the global emissions debate? | The 34th Annual Commercial Aviation Industry Suppliers Conference will host a unique interactive Panel Discussions focusing on the coming sustainable aviation wave.
There is no one silver bullet to mitigate the threat of proactive regulatory intervention that will harm airlines. Multiple approaches are required. European airlines are taking action now — a harbinger for the future impact on airlines of the environmental concerns of the public and governments. Globally, CORSIA and similar aviation policy ambitions may not be enough to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The aviation ecosystem has to react in an integrated and decisive manner to support its airline customer base. Leveraging multiple technologies to avoid what might be an existential threat to traffic growth is a must. What are the implications of sustainability for suppliers? | | | | |
