Whitepaper: The future potential of Urban Air Mobility
The aviation industry is at a breaking point. Airlines need to shift to a more sustainable trajectory or get left behind. Navigating that path is tricky. From offsets to SAF and using paper instead of plastic to offering more vegan meal options, there is no one path. Our hub helps you stay on top of the latest news and developments.

McKinsey: Global survey points to greener future for air travel
While the pandemic-related downturn is worrisome, it is likely to be temporary. McKinsey’s latest survey of more than 5,500 air travelers around the world shows that the aviation industry faces an even bigger challenge: sustainability.
Industry Speak
As the leader of one of the world’s largest airlines, I recognize our responsibility in contributing to climate change as well as our responsibility to solve it. It’s no longer enough for us to connect the world without making sure it has a future.
SCOTT KIRBY
CEO, United Airlines
Connecting the world and protecting our environment for future generations cannot be mutually exclusive. Travelers should not have to choose between seeing the world and saving the world.
ED BASTIAN
CEO, Delta Airlines
If we thought of sustainability in the same way that we think about safety, I’m quite sure we’d be incentivised to create solutions to actually solve those problems.
GREG FORAN
CEO, Air New Zealand
If we wait for the ideal technology to be available, then the world is cooked. We miss the net-zero targets. We miss the temperature rise targets.
WARREN EAST
CEO, Rolls-Royce
Solving the climate challenge requires collaboration across industries. Decarbonizing aviation is much harder than decarbonizing road transport, as the laws of physics are against us. No one solves these challenges alone.
TOPI MANNER
CEO, Finnair
Increasingly, travelers will make choices that do include carbon emissions and therefore, the environmental performance [of their airline]. The people that don't respond in the sort of ways that we've been doing may well be history.

CEO, Etihad Airways
