This post analyses the environmental impacts of air transport and the initiatives of the European Commission to mitigate these effects and align with the Green Deal. 🚀

What changes can transform aviation? 🔧 Measures include the development of more efficient technologies, improvements in operations and infrastructure, and the use of sustainable fuels (SAF). Market mechanisms such as emissions trading (ETS) and ICAO CO2 offsetting (CORSIA) are also mentioned? 🌱

🛠️ In addition, the challenges to implementing these solutions are addressed, including the need for an adequate regulatory framework and comprehensive safety testing combining runway testing, open traffic trials and simulations in complex virtual environments. One step closer to sustainable aviation! 💚
