This study explores the potential for producing sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) in four African countries: Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa. Rather than serving as a full feasibility analysis or detailed project proposal, it uses a techno-economic approach to showcase Africa's...

This pilot study investigates the contributions of an airport service provider from Romania specializing in ground handling, operations, and passenger services towards achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Recognizing the critical role of service providers in the...

Since its launch in 2022 the Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking (CAJU) has been at the forefront of pioneering technologies that are driving the sustainable aviation revolution, working towards the sector's target of achieving climate neutrality by 2050.

Since 2016, annual reports synthesise the ESF achievements on the basis of the annual implementation reports submitted by member states. This latest edition summarises the achievements by end 2022 (reported by Member States in 2023). It was prepared by the ESF Data Support Centre.

Air traffic management (ATM) has an important contribution to make towards the overall effort supporting climate-neutral aviation. In the SESAR Joint Undertaking (SESAR JU), we have united the entire ATM community - airports, air navigation service providers, civil and military airspace users,...
