In Thailand, CNA stated that governments across Asia Pacific are taking proactive steps to help airlines make aviation more sustainable, according to the director general of the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines (AAPA).
Speaking to CNA in Bangkok last week, Subhas Menon said the trade body is confident its members are on track to hit a goal of using 5% sustainable aviation fuel by the end of the decade.
“Asia Pacific is growing at a very fast pace. (The region’s) governments are determined to support this growth, because aviation plays a big part in their economies, I think we’ll get there,” Menon said.
“(They) are working … with their airlines, fuel suppliers, manufacturers and airports to achieve that target. Most of these governments have got their (sustainable) fuel suppliers on the ready.”
Menon noted that an increasing number of governments in the region are introducing policies and regulations aimed at supporting the industry’s sustainability targets.
