In 2021, SATAVIA was selected for the first cohort of the AviationXLab, an incubator program founded by Emirates, GE Aerospace, Airbus and others. As part of Aviation XLab, SATAVIA received mentoring and support on a proof-of-concept project with #Emirates. Today, they are working operationally with Etihad, supported by the ADQ Growth Lab. And bringing the story full circle, Aerospace Carbon Solutions, a GE Aerospace business, has #acquired SATAVIA. This is such a #proud moment because GE Aerospace and the #UAE have been an important part of SATAVIA’s journey. It is an excellent example of our focus on home-grown innovation across the #aviationecosystem and shows that this region is very much in focus for #GEAerospace and for the industry at large!
In our efforts at GE Aerospace to advance a more sustainable future of flight, we continue to explore ways to help the industry reduce emissions. In 2023, we formed Aerospace Carbon Solutions to catalyze more sustainable flight beyond engines, including through sustainable aviation fuel and high-quality carbon removal technologies. These are essential areas to helping the industry achieve its decarbonization ambitions. Now, I’m proud to share that Aerospace Carbon Solutions has acquired SATAVIA, which is specialized in operational contrails management. SATAVIA’s contrails management and forecasting service team is joining GE Aerospace’s across-the-board sustainability approach that includes more efficient jet engine technologies, alternative fuels testing, and software solutions for optimizing aircraft operations. As we welcome CEO Adam Durant and the rest of the talented SATAVIA team to Aerospace Carbon Solutions, we look to continue to enhance our scientific understanding of the impact of contrails.
