Airbus and ACI World have announced a strategic alliance at the Farnborough International Airshow in the United Kingdom to support the aviation industry in reducing its environmental impact. This collaboration focuses on sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), hydrogen technologies, advanced air mobility, operational efficiency, and aircraft noise management. The partnership aims to share information, monitor industry progress, develop guidance materials, and potentially establish unified policies and standards to meet industry targets for sustainability. Julie Kitcher, Airbus Chief Sustainability Officer, highlighted the significance of this partnership in driving industry-wide innovation and influencing policies and standards that promote sustainable aviation practices. Luis Felipe de Oliveira, ACI World Director General and CEO, emphasized the commitment of airports worldwide to sustainable aviation, aiming for a net-zero carbon aviation industry. The collaboration seeks to set new benchmarks for sustainability in aviation by focusing on key areas such as sustainable aviation fuels, hydrogen technologies, and operational efficiency. This collaboration builds upon a previous two-year partnership between Airbus and ACI EUROPE, with a focus on deploying alternative energies including hydrogen and SAF within European alliances. The expansion of this partnership to a global scale underscores the importance of integrated efforts between aircraft manufacturers and airport operators worldwide to achieve a greener future for the aviation sector.
