Aviation Sustainability Briefing
News and views on how we can make
aviation sustainable together

Editorial
Our EUROCONTROL Aviation Sustainability Briefing is all about sharing insights into how we can make aviation sustainable together. With this edition we have uncovered a couple of fabulous examples on how our sector is dedicated to doing just that. Georgian air navigation service provider SAKAERONAVIGATSIA Ltd has kindly shared their insight into how they are optimising airspace design and procedures to handle growing numbers of traffic. Their challenges and their cross-border collaboration with their partners can really educate us about efforts for more efficiency and sustainability in the region.
Supported by EUROCONTROL the Alliance for Zero-Emission Aviation (AZEA) recently launched its vision on enabling the operation of hydrogen-powered and electric flights in Europe. This edition features an article on the strategy for those wanting to know more and we are also extending our perspective from the strategy towards an area were zero- emission aircraft are most likely to be deployed first: regional aviation. In this edition we spoke to Antoine Toulemont of European Regions Airline Association about the current challenges of the regional aviation market and how electric aircraft manufacturer AURA AERO is making significant progress developing hybrid-electric regional aircraft.
What we must not forget: The climate impact from aviation stems from a combination of both CO2 and non-CO2 emissions. Extensive work is being done on gathering more data on non-CO2 emissions in order to support and accelerate the research on contrails avoidance. I am happy to say that in this edition we managed to also include an interview with Stephen Arrowsmith of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) on EASA’s Aviation Non-CO2 Experts Network (ANCEN).
Enjoy reading this edition!
