Following a successful trial of the first ever hydrogen airside refuelling test at Bristol Airport, we have now released a new report along with our partners Jacobs who were heavily involved in Project Acorn.   The report shares insights from the trials and sets out what’s needed to develop hydrogen refuelling regulations in the UK alongside supporting the wider decarbonisation of aviation for both airlines and airports across the world.   A massive thank you to all our partners who made this possible: Cranfield Aerospace Solutions Cranfield University @cpcatapult DHL Fuel Cell Systems Ltd. @bath-iaaps MULAG TCR Bristol Airport Jacobs @CAA Read all about the findings and what needs to be implemented to ensure that hydrogen infrastructure can safely co-exist alongside traditional fuels at airports: https://lnkd.in/eAnE6h-G

Our Senior Policy Manager, Eóghain M. spoke on the Aerospace Ambition Podcast to discuss the EU’s non-CO2 monitoring system and the potential exclusion of extra-EEA/ long haul routes and how this could impact our knowledge of the effects of non-CO2.

We've launched our ‘Every Child Can Fly’ summer onboard collection to support UNICEF’s aim to help get every child in school and access learning.   Over 29 million customers set to fly with us this summer can donate through cabin crew collections onboard more than 190,000 flights across 33 countries, and raise vital funds to help change millions of children’s lives.   Since 2012, easyJet crew and customers have helped raise nearly £17 million for UNICEF, enabling them to reach millions of children and families worldwide as they tackle issues like polio, COVID-19, and access to quality education, especially in emergencies.   Thank you to our fantastic customers for their continued kindness and generosity in helping make a real difference to the lives of millions of children around the world.

This week we held our first Menopause at Work Day with the incredible Over The Bloody Moon team led by Lesley Salem and Leila Carter The session, focussing on menopause education and allyship, saw an amazing turnout of 230 colleagues joining us both virtually and in person. Menopause affects everyone, not just those who experience it directly. At some point, all of us will encounter its impact, whether through our own experiences or interactions with friends, family, or colleagues. Our discussions highlighted the importance of open conversations, promoting a community of care, and learning how to best support those around us. A special thank you to the panel members who tried the MenoVests provided by Over The Bloody Moon including James Cooke, Duncan Beckman, Peter Foreman, Francis Rawson, and Oliver Henry, and to the many others who stopped to use the MenoVest and VR headsets, gaining insight into the daily challenged faced by a perimenopausal woman. A thank you to Chanel Power our Health and Wellbeing Campaign Specialist for organising this event. We are excited to continue this important conversation and make a positive difference for all our colleagues.  

Showcasing the amazing opportunities in Engineering at easyJet James Cooke and the team will be back again at the #BigBangFair. Already a successful two days at the #stem awareness careers fair - come along on Friday and meet the team in Aviation Corner #EngineeringUK

At ILA Berlin - Pioneering Aerospace the Alliance for Zero-Emission Aviation (AZEA), co-chaired by easyJet and Airbus, has yesterday launched its vision for reducing aviation’s climate impact in Europe – with hydrogen and electric propulsion identified as key to the transition. Our Senior Policy Officer Eóghain M. (left) presented the #AZEA vision together with the Director of Defence François Arbault at the EU´s DG DEFIS (right) and Karine GUENAN VP ZEROe @Airbus (back) at a panel to the ILA audience.   The vision paper has identified three propulsion technologies as having the most potential to power conventional aircraft without generating in-flight CO2. These include hydrogen combustion, hydrogen fuel cell, and battery-electric propulsion, which according to new findings contained in the vision paper, could help to reduce emissions by up to 31% by 2050 on intra-EEA routes in the best case scenario, and aviation's total warming impact by much more.   The vision paper also outlines 5 key recommendation areas to help make the transition a reality, including: 1. Aircraft – The policy framework should continue to maximise support for electric and hydrogen aircraft technologies to help leverage private investment, including for technologies at high technological readiness levels. 2. Energy generation and transmission – Aviation stakeholders and governments should begin a dialogue to coordinate the integration of aviation’s energy demands into energy planning, including the connection of key aerodromes to electric and hydrogen grids, and the generation or import of renewable and low carbon energy. 3. Aerodromes – Aerodromes should start early dialogues with governments as well as electricity and hydrogen suppliers to prepare the adaptation of their infrastructures (including for instance additional space for battery charging and hydrogen infrastructure) and the supply of the required energy; government-industry cooperation will also be needed to equip the aviation workforce with new skills. 4. Certification, regulation, and standardisation – Regulators need to be supported in engaging with industry at an early stage, ensuring regulations and certification are electric- and hydrogen-ready, and certification costs should be considered. 5. Airspace – Integrating new aircraft into the European network will require operational coordination between airspace stakeholders and continued political support.   With 160 organisations forming the AZEA membership, all committed to fulfilling the objectives of the European Green Deal, the launch of this paper represents a significant milestone for the development of zero-carbon emission technology – something that the industry, policymakers and everyone connected with aviation will need to work together on to deliver.   Click here (https://lnkd.in/dhSk4Phz) to read AZEA’s vision paper in full.

Yesterday morning, on World Environment Day, we took part in a round table ‘The Journey of Sustainability’ organised with our partner Aeroporto Olbia Costa Smeralda and with the participation of Federalberghi and Confindustria Centro Nord Sardegna.   With the joint aim of a positive summer for Sardinia tourism, the event was a valuable opportunity for main players in the supply chain to discuss paths towards more sustainable tourism and to highlight the synergetic work carried out to date, with the aim of promoting a more sustainable model from both an environmental and a social point of view.   Today easyJet is the leading company operating at Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport, with a total of 18 routes operated in Summer 2024.
