Although last December’s world environmental meeting in Copenhagen ended with more of whimper than a bang, the head of the U.S. Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) predicts that aviation’s environmental impact will be a hot topic here when the CEOs of American and European manufacturers hold their annual dialog.

Marion Blakey, president and CEO of AIA, said that since the sessions in Denmark, there have been a series of meetings and working groups gathered under the auspices of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). “We hope to agree on the emissions reductions that we’re committed to hitting and the technological and operational paths to get there,” she said.
