Airbus becomes new partner in the ALIGHT project
In Denmark, ALIGHT said that European aircraft manufacturer Airbus has become a new dedicated partner in the ALIGHT project.
In close collaboration with other key partners in ALIGHT, Airbus will perform crucial cost benefit analyses on future SAF scenarios and help determine both feasibility and viability of each of the identified scenarios for sustainable aviation.
“Being able to attract a partner like Airbus is a testament to the robustness of the ALIGHT partnership. Airbus is one of the largest aircraft manufacturers globally and their unique expertise will add incredible value to our efforts in promoting sustainable aviation and airport operation in Europe,” said Sabrina Tekle Krarup Jensen, Senior Project Manager for Sustainability at Copenhagen Airport.
“The distribution of sustainable aviation fuel at airports is a challenge for the entire industry. This is why Airbus has joined the ALIGHT project: to contribute to the modeling of an infrastructure for sustainable aviation fuel and renewable energy sources for ground activities in airport operations. In addition, we will collectively develop the aviation ecosystem necessary to bring this model to life,” says Julien Manhes, Airbus Head of Sustainable Aviation Fuel and Fuel Efficiency.
