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 bit of the flight, from pushback from the stand and taxiing to an optimised flight profile and continuous descent approach - was calibrated to achieve minimal emissions and delay, planned meticulously by SA signatories NATS, British Airways and BAA.
