Sustainability in the Sky is a blog that shares the initiatives being implemented by airports, airlines and other role-players in the aviation landscape.
The most important component of sustainability might often be regarded as the economic stability of a company. However, it must be remembered that there are three elements to sustainability. Sustainability includes environmental, social, and economic aspects.
Indeed, it is possible to enhance sustainability in the aviation sector. Technology plays a huge role in moving forward. However, shifts in outlook and actions are required.
Alongside these shifts, a commitment to action is required. Credible and worthy initiatives, however big or small are the building blocks to greater achievements in aviation sustainability.
According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), aviation accounts for around 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions. But with new generation aircraft, sustainable aviation fuels, optimised operations and improved infrastructure, sustainability in aviation is enhancing.
Sustainability is possible within the aviation sector. The different stakeholders in the aviation landscape are gradually adapting their operations to ensure that aviation positively impacts society and the economy while reducing environmental impact.
The commercial aviation sector aims to reduce carbon emissions to 50% of what they were in 2005, by 2050. Sustainability in the Sky brings you news and sustainability stories making the airwaves in the aviation landscape. This is presented in simple, understandable everyday language, without the jargon and complicated terminology.
