The SESAR 3 Joint Undertaking has joined the European Commission’s Alliance for Zero-Emission Aviation.
Launched in June 2022 by European Commissioner Thierry Breton, the Alliance aims to prepare the aviation ecosystem for the entry into service of hydrogen- and electric-powered aircraft, to ensure that air transport contributes to Europe’s 2050 climate neutrality objective.
The SESAR JU joins organisations from across the aviation community, from aircraft manufacturers, airlines, airports, energy companies, fuel providers, standardisation and certification agencies, passenger and environmental interest groups and regulators. Together they aim to examine the current challenges facing the entry-into-service of these aircraft.
In particular, the members of the Alliance will focus on issues such as the fuel and infrastructure requirements of hydrogen and electric aircraft at airports, standardisation and certification, and the implications for airlines and air traffic management.
