A strategy towards sustainable development of UK aviation
Sustainable Aviation is a long term strategy which sets out the collective approach of UK aviation to tackling the challenge of ensuring a sustainable future for our industry. A world-first, Sustainable Aviation was launched in 2005 and brings together the main players from UK airlines, airports, manufacturers and air navigation service providers. We have produced three Progress Reports to date, the latest published in March 2011, following ones in 2006 and 2009. We will continue to deliver on the goals and commitments identified in the strategy, monitoring and tracking the practical cooperative work being undertaken by signatories to Sustainable Aviation as well as promoting our efforts both within the UK and internationally.

Every two years, Sustainable Aviation publishes a progress report which reviews developments against a series of goals. With effect from 2011 edition, it also includes a close tracking of the practical cooperative work being undertaken by SA signatories. The 2011 edition, covering the period 2009 to 2010 was published in March 2011.

The report comes against a background of rising aviation demand, and the forthcoming publication of the UK Government's Sustainable Aviation Review. Passenger numbers are expected to more than double by 2050 and air freight activity, vital to the UK's trade with emerging markets, is expected to increase more than seven fold.
