High altitude contrails could be the low hanging fruit for greener aviation
Studies suggest contrails could have a greater climate impact than the CO2 emissions from aircraft, so minimising contrails may become a short term priority for improving the sustainability of the airline industry.
Contrail management has the potential to deliver quick environmental performance gains for the industry, alongside medium and long term measures such as sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and alternative propulsion technologies.
