Aviation Sustainability Briefing Issue 11

Aviation Sustainability Briefing

News and views on how we can make
aviation sustainable together

Editorial

This special edition of our Aviation Sustainability Briefing focuses on EUROCONTROL's platform of sustainability services, FlyingGreen. The objective of FlyingGreen is to facilitate the transition of the aviation industry to net zero by 2050, and to enhance its resilience against increasingly extreme weather conditions. Developed with the collaboration of over 100 stakeholders from the aviation sector as well as other industries (such as energy, finance, and European administration), FlyingGreen offers states, air navigation service providers, airports, and other aviation stakeholders the necessary tools and resources to implement green practices and work towards a more sustainable future. As the platform reaches maturity, we decided to dedicate a full briefing to guide you through FlyingGreen and assist you in getting started.

FlyingGreen is more than just a concept—it is a game-changer for aviation sustainability as the industry faces increasing environmental challenges.

This special edition explores how FlyingGreen is shaping the future of sustainable aviation, offering insights into its latest developments and the collective effort required to achieve net zero. I am particularly grateful to the members of the Stakeholder Engagement and Consultation Group (SECG) for their precious insights and the contributions from ANA, ERA, Trinity College Dublin, TU Delft, and all my EUROCONTROL colleagues to this edition!

In December 2023, we announced the launch of the first release of the FlyingGreen platform of services. Since then, we have deployed two new major releases (end of January 2025 and in May 2025) and invite you to use the platform.

With FlyingGreen, EUROCONTROL offers a publicly available platform to support your sustainability strategy with the help of EUROCONTROL’s data and expert support. With a few clicks, users can access easy-to-use tools to create 'what if scenarios' and simulate emissions, plan sustainable energy/SAF needs and costs, assess climate vulnerability quickly, and prepare cases for faster access to sustainable financing.

Make sure to dive into the possibilities and opportunities of FlyingGreen!
