Upcoming webinars
Is SAF up to the sustainability challenge?
Exclusive partner: Pratt & Whitney In the fourth of the 2023 series of webinars on the industry’s most important agenda items in aviation sustainability, FlightGlobal and a panel of industry experts will take stock of the progress being made as 2023 draws to a close, and what the next steps are. This webinar takes place after the milestone ICAO Conference on Aviation and Alternative Fuels (CAAF/3) being held in Dubai (and during COP28 the UN’s Climate Change Conference). What was decided that advances SAF uptake and advances alternative fuels policy at the conference? Speakers include: Haldane Dodd, Executive Director, Air Transport Action Group Sean Bradshaw, Senior Fellow, Sustainable Propulsion, Pratt & Whitney Nancy Young, Chief Sustainability Officer, Gevo
Business Aviation rising to the sustainability challenge
This webinar will examine the progress being made and challenges being faced by the business aviation community as it pursues environmental strategies to meet the sector’s commitment to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. It will explore the big issues of the day, examining the pressure the sector is facing from green protest movements and potential exclusion from some airports on environmental grounds; the progress business aviation is making on Sustainable Aviation Fuels and Book & Claim; and discuss the technological and operational progress being made to reduce emissions. It will feature leading players to explain developments to date and what to expect in the coming year. Speakers include: Kurt Edwards - Director General at International Business Aviation Council Scott McElvaine - Vice-President Business Development & Commercial Services at Pratt & Whitney Canada Scott Cutshall - Senior Vice-President Strategy & Sustainability at Clay Lacy Aviation Ève Laurier, Vice President, Communications, Marketing and Public Affairs at Bombardier
Place your bets on the Disruptive Technologies for Advanced Air Mobility
This webinar will bring insight into the plans of the established aircraft makers and start-up players aiming to launch the first wave of low or zero-emission conventional aircraft, generally up to 9-seats in size. It will feature leading players to discuss the design, route to first flight, certification and service entry of these types. Speakers to include: Eric Bartsch - CEO and Co-Founder of VerdeGo Aero David Stepanek - Executive Vice President, Sales and Chief Transformation Officer of Bristow
Disruptive Propulsion Technologies for large commercial aircraft
This webinar will examine how far the drive towards delivering 100-seat plus airliners with propulsion technologies that will deliver fundamentally lower emissions is progressing. It will feature leading technology players to explain developments to date and what to expect in the coming 2-3 years covering electric, hybrid, hydrogen fuel and hydrogen combustion technologies.
Spotlight on airline sustainability strategies
In the fourth of its series of webinars on the industry’s most important agenda items in aviation sustainability, FlightGlobal and a panel of industry experts will take stock of the progress airlines have made, and what the next steps are.
Is there a sustainable future for business aviation?
Business aviation proved resilient to the Covid-19 crisis. However, in the eyes of many activists, the sector – with its low passenger to fuel-use ratio – is a major carbon culprit. In recent years, business aviation has been at the forefront of efforts to drive down the environmental impact of flying. In this webinar, leaders from across business aviation explain what they are doing to improve the industry’s image and what further steps will be necessary to genuinely reduce its emission footprint.
Hydrogen and electrics: the great disruptive propulsion debate
The past two years have seen huge advances in electric propulsion. However, battery weight is a major barrier to scaling up the technology to become commercially viable for anything larger than small general aviation aircraft. Is hydrogen then the breakthrough power source that will allow the industry to transition towards zero-net-carbon? Perhaps, but, again, developments are still in their infancy. Our expert panel will discuss whether hydrogen, electric, or hybrid-electric propulsion represents the best bet for a sustainable future for aviation.
