Airbus has announced a partnership with London Gatwick, easyJet, and Air Products to enhance hydrogen capability and infrastructure in the UK. This collaboration, part of Airbus' Hydrogen Hubs at Airports program, aims to expand hydrogen infrastructure in aviation. London Gatwick will be a key location for setting up liquid hydrogen supply, storage, refuelling, and ground handling for hydrogen aircraft. Air Products plans to establish a green hydrogen production facility in Immingham to fuel hydrogen buses in the Gatwick area. Airbus aims to launch the first hydrogen-powered commercial aircraft by 2035 and sees this partnership as a crucial step towards achieving this goal. The partners emphasize the importance of developing necessary infrastructure to decarbonize the aviation sector. While significant progress is being made, challenges remain in terms of operational skills, hydrogen supply, and low-carbon hydrogen production.
