ACI considers ground handling to be of great importance to the safety, regularity, efficiency and performance of airport operations.
In addition to airports reducing carbon emissions to minimise their impact on climate change, the business case for doing so is growing even stronger. The key driver for airports to reduce their emissions is to maintain their licence to grow and operate, but it also builds on ESG programmes and results in financial savings from energy efficiency. Although offsetting can allow airports to be car…
The most way to reduce the carbon footprint of the existing aircraft fleet is to replace fossil-based kerosene with carbon-neutral fuels. Sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) is the term used to define hydrocarbon fuels which are not from fossil origin and which compensate for the emitted carbon dioxide through the production/capture of their feedstock, making them fully or partially carbon neutral.
This paper endeavours to provide a comprehensive overview of the current landscape within the aviation industry, with a particular focus on the airport ecosystem stakeholders and their service providers, including ground handlers.
