📌#WEEK23 #TuesdayNews AVIATION SUSTAINABILITY NEWS 📰🗞️ ✈🌱 🔷️ Dubai | IATA Says SAF Production to Triple in 2024 The International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced that its projections for a tripling of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) production in 2024 to 1.9 billion liters (1.5 million tonnes) are on track. This would account for 0.53% of aviation’s fuel need in 2024. To accelerate SAF use, there are several policy measures that governments could take. 🔶️ Canada | Business aviation sustainability solutions provider Azzera has been selected to provide #CORSIA-compliant carbon credits for Pratt & Whitney Canada’s (P&WC) Carbon Offset Service, which is available to operators of all aircraft powered by the manufacturer’s engines, including business jets, helicopters and regional and general aviation aircraft. Under the arrangement, Azzera says it will supply a portfolio of high-quality carbon credits rated through the company’s Impact Score, a quality assurance system based on official project registries such as Verra, Gold Standard and American Carbon Registry, and a proprietary rating system. Azzera has also added what it claims is an industry-first sustainable aviation fuel management module to its CELESTE software platform that enables aircraft operators to manage and track their SAF uplift and assess its contribution to emissions reduction. Both SAF uplift and book-and-claim are trackable through the functionality. 🔶️USA | The International Aerospace Environmental Group ® (IAEG) , a non-profit organisation of global aerospace companies has announced the formation of a working group to evaluate technical issues regarding the compatibility of 100% sustainable aviation fuel with airplane systems. With Boeing as lead and Airbus as deputy lead, the IAEG Work Group 13 (WG 13) will also include team members from Dassault Aviation, GE Aerospace, RTX’s Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce and Safran, among others. https://cutt.ly/Reu3KLVP 🔷 Indian biofuels technology company GPS Renewables has partnered with SAF One, a new Dubai-based producer of sustainable aviation fuels, to develop SAF in India, the world’s third-largest aviation market, and one of the fastest-growing. Through their new collaboration, SAF One and ARYA, the Indian company’s project platform, will jointly develop a new SAF plant in India capable of producing 20-30 million litres of low-carbon fuel per year by converting lignocellulosic waste feedstock, or low-value agricultural by-products. ➖➖ Did you know that ITAérea Aeronautical Business School, in collaboration with United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), offers a Master's program in Sustainable Air Transport Management ( MATSM ) ? 🔸 Next intake : 03rd July 2024 For further information, please contact us at [email protected] or [email protected]📧 #ITAEREA #airports #regulations #sustainabilily #GreenWorld #Master #Training #Africa

Are you surprised that Saudia is the 2nd largest in the Gulf after Emirates (and not QR or EY)? Or that Flyadeal is larger than AirArabia among LCCs? That's the underdog effect. If you look at the Top 10 airlines by seats in the Middle East (thanks, OAG) for August 2024, you will find some interesting insights. While the perception may be that the "ME Big3" are Emirates, Qatar and Etihad, the reality is different. Saudia is bigger than Qatar Airways thanks to the 11% annual seat growth. Despite Etihad's 30% annual growth, it's outside the top 5! If you combine the growth at flynas and flyadeal, which is 17% and 12%, respectively, you'll see that Saudi Arabia is the fastest-growing aviation market in the region. In fact, Flyadeal is now larger than the traditional LCC leader in the region - Air Arabia. Having lived in the region and worked with most of these airlines in the last 17 years, I know you always need to look under the hood to get the true picture. From Qatar Airways, which became the largest international airline during the pandemic, to helping to start Flyadeal as one of the strongest LCCs today. As these airlines balance their growth with sustainability priorities, it will be interesting to see the paths they take. Did you get any surprising insights from this chart? #airlines #aviation #travel
