One of the UAE’s major airlines is testing out environmentally sustainable travel

As airlines continue to focus on eco-friendly travel, Etihad is continuing to innovate.

The carrier is launching comprehensive environmental testing over the next week, which will see over 30 flights examined.

Operational efficiencies, technology and procedures will all be put to the test to see how all areas can better reduce carbon emissions.

It forms part of Etihad’s expansion into its sustainability flight testing regime.

The week-long programme will coincide with Earth Day on April 22.

The transition to eco-friendly travel

Global airlines are seeking to improve their operations by being more sustainable.

Qantas and United Airlines are among many that have recently announced steps towards eco-friendly regimes, by using sustainable aviation fuel on some flights.

In December, United operated the world’s very first flight that used 100 per cent sustainable aviation fuel.

The carrier flew a plane with more than 100 passengers on board, travelling from Chicago to Washington DC, using only renewable fuel.

SAF has the potential to deliver the performance of petroleum-based jet fuel but with a fraction of its carbon footprint.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the country’s vast feedstock resources are enough to meet the projected fuel demand of the entire U.S. aviation industry.

Despite challenges, advocates urge a shift from despair to possibility, emphasizing personal agency and proactive pursuit of homeownership goals. Thus, while acknowledging the hurdles, reframing the discourse empowers individuals to navigate the housing market with resilience and determination, making the dream of owning a home a tangible reality for those willing to seize it. #Trending #Featured
