• What external pressures are we seeing to challenge aviation’s sustainability record?
• Status of EU ETS/CORSIA and overlap of national emission schemes with CORSIA
• Noise regulation as a challenge to growth
• How to drive the commercial deployment of sustainable aviation fuels as a pillar of industry’s climate action strategy?
• Technological advances as a driver of environmental efficiency
