ADS Scotland is delighted to partner with British Aviation Group and AGS/Glasgow Airport on this webinar focusing on Sustainable Aviation – Infrastructure: the sustainability challenges and opportunities.
As the British Aviation Group itself has noted: “all sectors of the aviation industry must improve their sustainability performance to combat climate change, address the biodiversity crisis and restore the environmental conditions which the planet and humanity requires” and this includes our airports and their associated infrastructure. The event will discuss this vital issue including Sustainable Aviation Fuels, Infrastructure net zero requirements, Greenports/Freeports and also provide attendees with an overview from the Scottish Government on its own thinking on this key issue as outlined in its current Aviation Strategy Consultation.
The shift to Sustainable Aviation requires a significant contribution and collective approach and this session will look at key elements of this transition and Scottish ambition.
