In this issue, we explore the journey toward more sustainable and optimised skies—where innovation, efficiency and environmental responsibility converge to shape the future of aviation.

Our 51^st EUROCONTROL Data Snapshot examines the traffic evolution in Q1 2025: traffic continues to grow, but growth is not uniform.

The latest EUROCONTROL European Aviation Trends paper takes a closer look at the long-term changes in domestic aviation, examining how globalisation, the rise of low-cost carriers, trends in travel behaviour, and the rise of alternative transport modes have reshaped the role of domestic flights in Europe.

With the 10^th Aviation Sustainability Briefing we share the story of Georgia's cross-border Free Route Airspace and optimised Climb and Descend Operations, AZEA's vision for zero emission aviation as well as interviews with Antoine Toulemont of ERA and Stephen Arrowsmith of EASA.

Our latest Think Paper assesses whether long-haul fights can be decarbonised through sustainable aviation fuel use, fleet renewal and green energy upscaling.
