NBAA challenged a report for selectively using data, making statements based on faulty analysis and ignoring facts to produce a one-sided set of conclusions about sustainability and business aviation.

NBAA is refuting a report published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment claiming a dramatic scale-up in private aircraft emissions in business jets that ultimately will require regulating given the contribution to the environment.

The future of sustainable aviation fuel could take off to create $44 billion of investment and make up 10% of U.S. jet fuel demand by the start of the next decade, according to a new report.

If the U.S. wants to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) said we’ll need to look to the skies.

NASA and GE Aerospace will evaluate aircraft wake scanning technology during flight tests starting Nov. 18, as part of efforts to improve the industry’s understanding of contrails—thought to be a key contributor to aviation’s impact on the Earth’s atmosphere.

In a Nov. 11 opinion piece, Richard Fontenot, president of the Louisiana Farm Bureau Federation, thanks U.S. Rep. Troy Carter, D-New Orleans, for his support of Louisiana’s agricultural and energy industries by introducing the bipartisan Sustainable Aviation Information Act and helping to establish the Congressional Sustainable Aviation Caucus.
