Sustainable Aviation

Thank God men cannot as yet fly and lay waste the sky as well as the earth.
Henry Thoreau (1861)

‘Aviation is a showcase of civilization, demonstrating human ability to harness advanced technology to improve people’s lives. The complex global web of aviation services shows how, working together on a common objective, human society can achieve incredible advances. That single-minded focus, which brings such success, can also makes us blind to the wider consequences. The time has come to open our eyes to the impact of the emissions from flying and collaborate to make aviation fit for the twenty-first century.’
