FLIGHTPATH: NEWSFEED

Corporations will play a crucial role in helping the aviation industry become more sustainable by partnering with airlines to reduce the impact of business travel.

Airlines need to act soon to procure carbon offsets and supplies of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to meet the rising demand for more action on climate change.

Nature-based projects, like planting trees and protecting forests, offer a viable way for the aviation industry to reduce its carbon impact today and at scale.

The aviation industry is running out of time to deploy carbon-mitigation tools, such as sustainable aviation fuel, as consumers are increasingly demanding that airlines act today.

Flightpath host Joel Makower sat down with Annie Petsonk, International Counsel at the Environmental Defense Fund, to discuss how the industry’s course to recovery must also track toward a more sustainable future.

Alex Macheras discusses the use of nature-based offsets as an immediate and scalable way to reach aviation’s net-zero goals with Duncan van Bergen, Former Vice President of Shell Nature Based Solutions, and Adrian Gane, Director of Sustainability & International Affairs at Etihad Airways.

Alex Macheras takes a look at the ways the industry is reducing emissions through the engines of the future with Simon Burr, Director of Product Development and Technology, and Emma Booth, Sub Systems Lead at Rolls Royce; and through the fuel of the future with Dr. Tim Baart, researcher GTL-XTL at Shell.

There is no singular answer to reduce aviation emissions— the key lies in several methods being implemented at scale by multiple stakeholders simultaneously.

Facing growing pressure from investors, customers, and regulators, corporations must move swiftly to decarbonise business travel.

Airlines must innovate and become more efficient while safely supplying aviation fuel by addressing the next generation of processes and technologies in the aviation fuel industry.

Flightpath host Joel Makower recently spoke with Amelia DeLuca, Vice President of Sustainability at Delta Air Lines, to discuss why Delta put sustainability at the heart of its business strategy and what the airline envisions for the future.

Sustainable aviation fuel holds great promise in helping the aviation industry reduce carbon emissions. Still, carbon pricing and other policy measures are needed to help spur investment and scale production to meaningful levels.

As the industry eyes a return to growth, part of the new normal will be a renewed emphasis on safety and sustainability.

While the attention of the aviation industry is firmly on recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, the challenge to reduce emissions must not be forgotten.

Flightpath host Joel Makower recently spoke with Nora Lovell Marchant, Vice President of Global Sustainability at American Express Global Business Travel, to discuss the current state of corporate sustainability efforts and the role of travellers and investors in helping drive change.

Sustainable aviation fuel can help corporations maintain business travel while meeting their emissions targets, but more cooperation with airlines is needed to bring prices down.

Elevating the aviation industry’s understanding of new technologies is key to realising the next generation of processes and improving operations.

Supply chains today account for more than 80% of greenhouse gas emissions. Companies looking to decarbonise their supply chains should explore the idea of carbon “insets” to help spur production of sustainable aviation fuel.
