In its 2023 sustainability report, Boeing said 35% of electricity used across the company last year was from renewable energy source, including purchasing renewable electricity and renewable energy credits, up from 21% in 2021.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) and air navigation service providers (ANSP) from Japan, Thailand and the U.S. have successfully completed the world's first demonstration flight using multi-regional trajectory-based operations (TBO) with the 787-10 Boeing ecoDemonstrator explorer. “Under TBO, ANSPs share information on weather, airspace closures and other traffic and also work together to plan and optimise an aircraft’s entire flight trajectory across flight information regions from take-off to touchdown,” CAAS said.
SATS is changing its organisational structure to global model for its gateway services businesses, with a CEO of SATS, a CEO for WFS in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia, a CEO for WFS in the Americas and a CEO for SATS food solutions. The company also has appointed a new chief human capital officer and a new chief operating officer.
Tecnam has stopped work on its P-Volt electric aircraft project after concluding “the time for P-Volt is not yet ripe”. The company said achieving flights with all-electric passenger aircraft profitably, efficiently and sustainably could “only be achieved by extremely aggressive speculation on uncertain technology developments”.
