Airbus, ACI World Forge Partnership to Enhance Aviation Sustainability

Our Bureau - : Jul 23, 2024 - : 2:29 am

Airbus and the Airports Council International (ACI) World have signed a cooperation agreement aimed at supporting the aviation industry’s efforts to reduce its environmental impact. This collaboration combines the expertise of the leading aircraft manufacturer with the extensive network of the foremost international association of airports to make substantial progress in decarbonising aviation and mitigating aircraft noise.

The partnership will focus on key areas such as Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF), hydrogen technologies, advanced air mobility, operational efficiency, and aircraft noise management practices. It aims to foster the exchange of information and perspectives on low-carbon operations, communicate industry progress, jointly develop guidance materials, and potentially formulate unified positions on policies and standards to achieve industry targets.

“This partnership marks a significant step in our collective efforts to reduce aviation’s environmental impact,” said Julie Kitcher, Airbus Chief Sustainability Officer. “By combining our technological expertise with ACI World’s vast network and operational insights, we aim to influence policies and standards that support sustainable aviation and drive industry-wide innovation. Together, we can create a cohesive and aligned approach to achieving our decarbonisation targets and enhancing the sustainability of the global aviation sector.”

Luis Felipe de Oliveira, ACI World Director General and CEO, remarked, “Airbus and ACI World’s groundbreaking cooperation agreement marks a pivotal step in our journey towards a net-zero carbon aviation industry. This strategic alliance underscores the unwavering commitment of airports worldwide to sustainable aviation, ensuring that we not only reduce our environmental impact but also maximise the socio-economic benefits of air travel. By focusing on key areas such as Sustainable Aviation Fuels, hydrogen technologies, advanced air mobility, operational efficiency, and aircraft noise management, we are setting new benchmarks for sustainability in aviation, and paving the way for a greener future.”

This collaboration builds on the successful partnership between Airbus and ACI EUROPE, which began two years ago. The partnership has significantly strengthened their relationship by working together on the deployment of alternative energies, including hydrogen and SAF, within European alliances, sharing technical data with European airports, and communicating progress at key industry events. Expanding this collaboration globally underscores the importance of integrated efforts between aircraft manufacturers and airport operators on an international scale.
