With the in-person EBACE show canceled for a second year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, AIN spoke with Athar Husain Khan, secretary-general of the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA), ahead of the virtual EBACE Connect replacement event to get his take on issues affecting business aviation in the region. Though Covid-19 is still an immediate concern that he addressed, Husain Khan is very focused on what he sees as the business aviation community's next biggest hurdle in Europe and elsewhere—the environment. It is no secret that had EBACE taken place this year, sustainability would have been a key focal point of the Geneva show, with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at the top of the list as to how business aircraft operators can most immediately cut carbon emissions.
