Sofia International Airport (SOF), Bulgaria’s premier air gateway, is embarking on an ambitious transformation aimed at doubling its capacity and redefining its role as a regional aviation leader. Spearheaded by SOF Connect and supported by key international stakeholders, this project not only signals a bold vision for growth but also […]

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) recently released the CORSIA Annual Sector’s Growth Factor (SGF) for 2023. This update marks a pivotal step in reducing aviation’s carbon footprint globally. This update, included in the latest ICAO document published in October 2024, sheds light on the annual emissions reductions required from

The aviation industry is steadfast in its commitment to reaching net zero emissions by 2050. As one of the most challenging sectors to decarbonize due to its reliance on energy-dense fuels, the journey towards sustainability relies heavily on the production and adoption of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF). While the path

The urgency to address climate change has amplified the need for transformative actions in every sector, including aviation, which contributes significantly to global carbon emissions. At the 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29) in Baku, Azerbaijan, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) reaffirmed its commitment to sustainable aviation during

In a significant step toward achieving its net-zero goals, the UK is set to expand its Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS). Introduced in 2021, the UK ETS caps emissions in key sectors like aviation, power, and industry, creating a carbon pricing system that incentivizes businesses to lower their greenhouse gas

In a groundbreaking move for India’s clean energy ambitions, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) has announced its plans to establish the country’s first Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production facility by 2027. This initiative aligns with India’s broader commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2070 and marks a significant milestone

As global aviation faces mounting pressure to reduce emissions, India, the world’s third-largest aviation market, is preparing its roadmap to address stringent clean fuel regulations. With the European Union (EU) set to enforce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) mandates starting in 2025, and the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) CORSIA (Carbon

The aviation sector is accelerating its efforts to achieve sustainability, with key players leading the charge through innovative strategies and bold investments. International Airlines Group (IAG), one of the world’s largest airline groups, has taken another significant step by entering a decade-long partnership with eSAF producer Infinium. This partnership aligns

The aviation industry, a cornerstone of global connectivity, faces mounting pressure to address its environmental impact. As international air travel expands, so do greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, positioning the sector among the fastest-growing contributors to climate change. Enter the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA)—a groundbreaking initiative

The aviation industry is making significant strides toward eliminating lead emissions from piston-engine aircraft, with the growing availability of unleaded aviation fuel marking a critical step forward. However, as this transition gains momentum, new challenges arise—most notably, the increased risk of misfuelling, which occurs when the wrong type, grade, or

The aviation sector, while a vital economic driver and enabler of global connectivity, faces mounting scrutiny for its substantial environmental impact. A recent comparative study has brought into sharp focus the limitations and strengths of two critical carbon pricing mechanisms: the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and the

The UK aviation sector has achieved a critical milestone in its journey toward sustainability with the signing of the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) mandate into law. This bold legislative move cements the nation’s commitment to reducing aviation emissions and positioning itself as a global leader in the transition to greener

The journey toward net-zero aviation took center stage at this year’s Aviation Carbon Event, held at London Heathrow. Over two days, key stakeholders, policymakers, and industry leaders gathered to discuss the future of aviation sustainability, focusing on innovative solutions, regulatory frameworks, and, most critically, the financial strategies needed to support

The aviation sector, a cornerstone of global connectivity and economic development, has taken a bold step toward sustainability with the launch of the Jet Zero Taskforce in the United Kingdom. Announced by Secretary of State for Transport Louise Haigh, this pioneering initiative aims to position the UK as a global

The aviation sector, an essential driver of global connectivity and economic growth, is also a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. As the industry expands, the need for sustainable alternatives becomes increasingly urgent.
