✈️ "Carbon offsetting will play a crucial role in addressing the residual emissions for the aviation industry’s net zero carbon transition, as aviation is a hard-to-abate sector. CORSIA is a market-based scheme to drive emissions reductions in international aviation, and establishes criteria to ensure that the emissions units used by airlines are real, accurate, and permanent." Our partners AlliedOffsets just released a collaborative CORSIA report 🌟 In this report takes a deep dive into the availability of credits for the different #CORSIA phases and we look at how that compares to the demand trends in the market. In addition to assessing the state of the market, this report also includes recommendations from IETA and International Air Transport Association (IATA) on improving the scheme.

Can strategic partnerships accelerate the development of sustainable air mobility solutions?  Volar Air Mobility and Etihad Aviation Training LLC have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to enhance cooperation in advanced electric aircraft operations. Signed at International Civil Aviation Organization’s AAM Symposium in Montreal, this collaboration focuses on research and development, sustainability projects, and regulatory engagement to further the UAE’s aviation sector and its Net Zero by 2050 agenda.  Saif Aldarmaki, Founding Partner of Volar Air Mobility, emphasized the partnership’s role in revolutionizing air mobility, while Mr. Anwar Hussein, Co-Founder, highlighted how the collaboration supports the UAE’s sustainability goals. This agreement aligns with Etihad Aviation Training’s commitment to innovation and sustainability in the aviation industry.  How will this partnership push the boundaries of electric aviation and contribute to a greener future?  Visit our blog for the full story and updates: https://lnkd.in/gV-fwaGf #AvfoilNews #VolarAirMobility #EtihadAviationTraining #ElectricAircraft #AdvancedAirMobility #SustainableAviation #UAEAirMobility #NetZeroBy2050 #AviationInnovation #SustainabilityInAviation #AviationInAction

Launching the ‘future-focused’ Aerospace Global Forum Farnborough International Airshow with the Airline Leaders' Summit yesterday, Pegasus Airlines CEO Güliz Öztürk shared thoughts on sustainability and the urgency of climate action with International Airlines Group (IAG) CEO Luis Gallego and Air India Limited CEO Campbell Wilson, all brilliantly moderated by aviation supremo Mark Pilling. Huge thanks to Mark. Güliz commented: “We need to accelerate the process of decarbonising aviation and move quickly to achieve net zero emissions. The critical enabler here is sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and the biggest bottleneck currently is its production, supply, and cost. Airlines are committed to consuming their mandated quotas, and we use every single drop. Now, it is up to the ecosystem, supported by governments, to produce sufficient volumes to make it economically viable”. There's much more to come from #FIA2024! #Aviation #Airline #Sustainability #PegasusAirlines

I share similar thoughts on this.

🚀 📑 The latest issue of European Regions Airline Association is now online! 👉 In this edition, Axel Krein, our Executive Director, shares his insights on the future of #aviation and #sustainability. By reading the interview, you will discover ongoing projects, the Joint Undertaking's contributions to environmental goals, key partnerships, major challenges, and the core values of Clean Aviation as we approach the launch of a revised #SRIA.   🌍✈️In Axel Krein's words, "By accelerating the alignment of all funding sources, Clean Aviation fosters collaboration and synergy among EU, national and regional initiatives in Europe." #Cooperation #FutureOfAviation #Innovation #SRIA

I'm looking forward to the Sustainable Aviation Futures in Singapore next week. This year, I expect to a big focus on regional initiatives in the Asia Pacific region to promote domestic SAF production and greener airline operations. As one of the fastest growing aviation markets, regional airlines are seeking practical options to meet industry carbon reduction targets. If you are attending, join my session on 6 November at 10:25am SGT, where I’ll moderate a panel on Australia’s pathway to a SAF mandate. My colleague Sunny Xi will lead a panel on the same day at 3:10pm SGT about how airports can balance expansion plans with sustainability objectives.

Airlines around the world are in short supply of SAF, and even the richest airlines cannot get it. Mastering SAF will be a niche industry. Faced with the global aviation industry's goal of reaching net zero by 2050, Emirates Airlines tried to add more SAFs, but faced the dilemma of being unable to launch new generation aircraft and unable to reduce more carbon emissions. https://lnkd.in/gVuebXJ3

There were some inspiring points in Willie Walsh's speech this morning at the 80th International Air Transport Association (IATA) AGM in Dubai. It is clear that aviation plays an essential role for economies and societies around the world, connecting nearly 5 billion people and supporting around $8.3 trillion in trade. It is equally clear that for future generations to continue to benefit from aviation, we have to make it sustainable. As Willie said, “achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050 is existential, not optional.” At Clear Sky, we are passionate about helping the industry work together to achieve its sustainability goals, and funding the journey to carbon-neutral skies.   #NetZero #SustainableAviation #IATAAGM.

What is CORSIA? 🧐 🍃 Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) #CORSIA is the first global market-based measure for any sector and represents a cooperative approach that moves away from a “patchwork” of national or regional regulatory initiatives. It offers a harmonized way to reduce emissions from international aviation, minimizing market distortion, while respecting the special circumstances and respective capabilities of ICAO Member States. CORSIA complements the other elements of the basket of measures by offsetting the amount of #CO2 emissions that cannot be reduced through the use of technological improvements, operational improvements, and sustainable aviation fuels with emissions units from the carbon market.

It was a pleasure to attend the General Assembly of the ALA Asociación Líneas Aéreas last Tuesday and witness such an engaging debate on decarbonization in the aviation industry. The panel featured distinguished leaders including Carlos Bertomeu, founder and president of Air Nostrum; Carlos Muñoz, founder and president of Volotea; Carolina Martinoli, president and CEO of Vueling; and Juan Ramsden, Board Member at Binter. They shared insightful perspectives on 'Environmental, Economic, and Social Sustainability,' exploring innovative strategies and collaborative efforts essential for achieving a greener future in aviation. Moreover, they emphasized that this challenge also presents a significant opportunity for Spain, exceptionally well-positioned to become a leader in Sustainable Aviation Fuels production (#SAF). ✈️🌍 Additionally, it was a delight to hear the one-on-one debate between Margarita de Gregorio, president of the Alliance for the Sustainability of Air Transport (AST), and Ismael Aznar Cano, partner in environment and climate at PwC. Their discussion provided a deep dive into the industry's challenges and opportunities. 🗣️   We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Raúl Medina Caballero, Director General of EUROCONTROL, for his incredible professional trajectory, dedication to the aviation sector, and unwavering commitment to advancing sustainable aviation practices. 🎉👏   Congratulations to the ALA for organizing such an informative and thought-provoking event. We look forward to the next one. 🌟📅 #Aviation #SustainableAviation #Decarbonization #GreenAviation #SAF #GreenFuture #AviationDebate #AirTransport #AviationChallenges #AviationOpportunities #PionAirLaw
