Our mission

Sustainable Aviation is a long term strategy which sets out the collective approach of UK aviation to tackling the challenge of ensuring a cleaner, quieter, smarter future for our industry.

Cleaner

We are committed to delivering a cleaner future for our industry. Our goal is to reduce net CO2 emissions by 50% by 2050 while accommodating a doubling of demand and play our part, alongside national and local government, in improving air quality around airports.

Quieter

We are committed to limiting and, where possible, reducing the impact of aircraft noise. Our Noise Road-Map outlines measures that will ensure noise from UK aviation will not increase despite a near doubling in flights over the next 40 years.

Smarter

We are committed to delivering a sustainable future for aviation by working together to drive innovation, delivering smarter operations and ensuring we make a positive contribution to both the UK and global society and economy.
