This project is part of the SESAR program, supported by EUROCONTROL and Airbus. By embracing these innovative landing procedures, skeyes and Brussels Airport are driving the future of cleaner, quieter, and more efficient air travel. 👉 Read the full press release here: https://bit.ly/4emtUZi #SustainableAviation #NoiseReduction #CO2Reduction #Innovation #skeyes #GreenLandings #AirTrafficManagement
