Paris airports operator Groupe ADP has inaugurated its first solar park, in Caveirac, in the Gard department in the south of France, as part of a long-term agre

Low-carbon aviation fuels can help industry buy time to develop sustainable aviation fuel that is affordable enough for wide adoption.

A digital registry underpinning a global book-and-claim system for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is expected to go live in mid-2023.

Germany has launched a project to develop a process to convert sustainably produced methanol into SAF that can be integrated into existing fossil-fuel production plants.

The modifications are particularly tailored to address areas of interference and parasitic drag around the fuselage that have never previously been tackled or only partially treated over the life of the aircraft.

The head of sustainability at Spanish airline Iberia says Europe in general and Spain in particular are lagging behind when it comes to investment in sustainable aviation fuel.

United Airlines has added a planned biofuels refinery in Oregon to its list of sustainability-related investments.

As the push for sustainability escalates, safety professionals will be keeping a wary eye out for unintended consequences—and unacceptable risks.

Madrid-based Quality Fly says it has become the first flight school in the European Union to reach carbon neutrality.

As a vast swath of aviation is turning to hydrogen as a central path to a sustainable future, some efforts are beginning to crystallize into concrete advancemen

Honeywell Aerospace President and CEO Mike Madsen on the aviation industry's sustainability challenges and solutions.

Braathens Regional Airlines is teaming up with Volvo Group to use 50% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) on what the two groups say will be the world’s first 50% SAF commercial route.

By 2040, passengers could be flying between all regions of the UK on hydrogen-fueled aircraft, concludes a detailed study by a consortium of airports, manufacturers and academic institutions.

The airline has purchased SAF from Finnish fuel provider Neste for the operation of 40 flights between the two airports over a three-month period.

Negotiations on the 2050 long-term aspirational goal continued to the very end of the two-week assembly in Montreal

As Europe looks to introduce mandates requiring airlines to use sustainable aviation fuel, Asia does not have the infrastructure in place, AirAsia Group's chief sustainability officer says.

Finnish SAF producer Neste is working with Japan-based trading company Itochu and Fuji Oil Company on a pilot project aimed at validating the blending of SAF with conventional jet fuel in Japan.

Speaking at the GAD World conference in Amsterdam, Heathrow Airport CFO Javier Echave said setting requirements would create a “pipeline of consumption.”

As passenger traffic recovers, LCCs in Europe discuss their plans and needs for MRO services.

It is the latest in a series of SAF-related announcements as airlines and tech companies seek to increase supply of the fuels in a bid to help aviation decarbonize.

Upcoming flight trials by Universal Hydrogen mark a key milestone on the road to zero-carbon-emission air travel.

The past might yield fuel-savings and emission-reducing solutions for regional transport and larger aircraft.

Efforts to build up U.S. sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production capacity to at least 3 billion gal. a year by 2030 have taken steps forward, with startups Alder Fuels and LanzaJet announcing progress in establishing their first plants.

Switching to hydrogen, from conventional Jet-A1 kerosene, can arguably be seen as a moonshot for commercial aviation.

In the range of solutions to drive aviation to a greener future, none alone will come close to being a silver bullet by 2050.
