Qatar Airways has joined the International Civil
Aviation Organization's (ICAO) Global Coalition for Sustainable
Aviation.
The coalition promotes sustainable international
aviation, acting as a forum through which stakeholders can develop
new ideas and accelerate innovative solutions that reduce
greenhouse gas emissions at the source.
It also aims to provide input into the development
and implementation of a basket of measures and the exploration of
a long-term environmental objective related to international
aviation.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, Mr.
Akbar Al Baker, said, “It is innovation that will
drive the industry forward for a sustainable future. I strongly
believe that the ICAO Global Coalition for Sustainable Aviation
will allow industry-leading partners to pursue collaborative
creation and drive innovation together. Qatar Airways is looking
forward to being a strategic collaborator in the coalition. We
expect to work together with other members in developing ideas and
strategies to facilitate a further acceleration of innovative
green technologies, taking us a step closer towards net zero
emissions.”
The coalition includes stakeholders working on a
broad array of topics related to sustainable aviation, including
sustainable aviation fuels, infrastructure, operations, and
technology, and it looks for trendsetters when identifying new
potential members.
Its focus areas include, raising awareness of the
continuing progress made towards in-sector CO2 emissions reduction
from international aviation, building on existing leaderships and
champions, as well as strengthening current partnerships and
innovations.
