Luis Felipe de Oliveira, ACI World director general and CEO, and Airbus chief sustainability officer Julie Kitcher signed an aviation sustainability cooperation agreement at the Farnborough Airshow this week.

Airbus and Airports Council International (ACI) World—the trade organization representing more than 2,100 airports in 169 countries—have signed an agreement in support of the aviation industry’s goal of reducing its environmental impact. The partnership—announced on Monday at the Farnborough Airshow—covers a wide range of topics, including sustainable aviation fuel, hydrogen technologies, advanced air mobility, operational efficiency, and aircraft noise mitigation, through the exchange of information and perspectives on low-carbon operations and the communication of industry progress.

Under the agreement, the two organizations will jointly develop guidance materials and possibly collaborate on policies and standards necessary to reach industry targets. This agreement builds on the two-year-old partnership between Airbus and ACI Europe that covered similar areas.
