The European Commission (EC) has released for public consultation the latest draft of the EU Taxonomy, a list of sustainable economic activities.

The FAA surprised the industry in May 2022 with a shift to certifying electric-vertical-takeoff-and-landing vehicles from Part 23 to Part 21.

The ruling comes just a day after Royal Schiphol Group, which operates the airport, set out its own plan to become “quieter and cleaner.”

The industry says book-and-claim can support SAF while supplies are extremely limited as it does not require the buyer to own or use the physical fuel.

Inclusion in the EU taxonomy is good news for the aviation sector, but airlines want more progress on reforms.

The areas they will enhance cooperation in are aviation safety, sustainability, training, innovation and “horizon scanning.”

Air India has introduced refreshed inflight food & beverage menus across cabins on all international flights (ex-India).

Global air charter and leasing specialist Chapman Freeborn has appointed Scott Collier as President – ACMI Leasing to lead the newly-formed global ACMI department.
