Aviation was one of the industries hit hardest by Covid-19, but the pandemic has done little damage to the industry’s long-term prospects: the International Air Transport Association (IATA) predicted in 2021 that air travel will be back at pre-pandemic levels by the middle of this decade. If the aviation industry is to make a meaningful contribution to the energy transition, it needs to innovate. In this episode, we talk to Jonathon Counsell, Group of Head of Sustainability at International Airlines Group, about the latest moves in the aviation industry towards ‘jet zero’. These include the development of more efficient and electric aircraft; the potential for hydrogen fuel cells and sustainable aviation fuels; and how this will be funded as the aviation sector gets back to full strength.
