The world’s top three manufacturers of commercial airliners were in broad agreement about what had to be done in order to achieve net-zero-carbon emissions aviation by 2050. This was clearly shown by addresses to the Airlines Association of Southern Africa (AASA) Annual General Assembly (AGA) on Friday, by representatives of (in alphabetical order) Airbus, Boeing and Embraer. (The AGA was being held in Kleinmond, south east of Cape Town.) Embraer was represented by GM Institutional Affairs Hussein Dabbas, Boeing by Africa and Middle East Sales Director Herb W Wallen, and Airbus by Environment & Sustainability Marketing Director Corrin Higgs. They all participated in a panel discussion on environmental considerations for aviation. The panel was moderated by environmental and wildlife specialist Dr Ian Cruikshank.
