We are happy to announce our Sustainable Aviation Day as part of the Airline Strategies lecture on Friday, April 11, 2025.
Sustainability has become a major strategic challenge for the airline industry. High uncertainties regarding technological advancements and regulatory changes make long-term strategies and their financing increasingly complex.
At the event, internationally renowned experts from academia, finance, regulation and the industry will discuss:
- The role of science in developing sustainable aviation strategies.
- Policies related to sustainability in aviation.
- Whether there is a single best strategy for making aviation more sustainable.
The event will take place on Friday, April 11, 2025, starting at 9:00 AM (CEST) in room 00 135 RW 2 in ReWi I and online via Microsoft Teams as a hybrid series of one-hour online lectures.
Our special thanks go to Lufthansa Frankfurt, SMBC Aviation Capital Dublin, UCL London, Cirium Risk Data London, EU Commission – Directorate General Clima, Arena Aviation Capital Amsterdam, Scripps Institution of Oceanography - UC San Diego, Boeing Seattle and Impact on sustainable aviation e.V. Frankfurt am Main for their support in making this event possible.
We look forward to your participation.
