Gate-to-gate Emissions
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Aviation is accountable for around 3% of the total annual Greenhouse Gases emissions from human activities. New technologies help reducing emissions at source, but with the air traffic forecast for the next 30 years, along with the growing concern about global warming, effort from every actor is crucial to address this increasing problem.
The State Of Art On Average Emissions
In 2023, flights departing from EU27+EFTA airports emitted 133 million tonnes CO2, which is 10% less than in 2019. Single and twin-aisle jets accounted for 77% of these flights and 96% of the CO2 emissions. 6% of the flights were long-haul (>4 000 km) and accounted for 46% of the CO2. (Source)
While manufacturers are taking actions promoting cleaner Aircraft and developing sustainable aviation fuel, the process will take time before these solutions are widely available. A solution that can be applied today, is needed. Some believe, that the only way that aviation globally can achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050, would be to stop flying.
We are convinced that there is a future for aviation,
and that it brings with it a wealth of benefits.
