Toulouse Sustainability Declaration Praised by Aviation Groups
Several companies and industry associations endorse the European Commission’s commitment to align sustainability goals among aviation stakeholders.

Several European companies and industry groups have endorsed the signing of the so-called Toulouse Declaration, marking the first time that European governments, the European Commission, and the aviation industry have formally aligned their aims to reach net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050.

In a joint statement, Airbus, Air France-KLM, ATR, Dassault Aviation, Groupe ADP, Safran, and Thales confirmed their commitment to a collective approach to address the challenges of a transition to sustainable aviation. They also urged the European Commission to implement the launch of industrial alliances they called critical to aligning “the entire ecosystem around this joint ambition,” particularly the Renewable and Low-Carbon Fuels Value Chain Industrial Alliance, the Alliance for Zero Emission Aviation, and the European Raw Materials Alliance.
