Ms. Mtetwa-Amaeshi actively participated in a panel discussion exploring the critical roles of connectivity, liberalization, and fair competition in driving sustainable growth within the aviation industry. The panel further delved into how these factors support citizen mobility, the impact of competition policies, and the ultimate benefits of enhanced connectivity for the industry as a whole. #connectivity #liberalization #ecac #eswacaa #aviation

The recently approved Aeronautical and Marine Search and Rescue (AMSAR) Bill of 2024 represents a significant advancement for South Africa’s maritime and aeronautical sectors. Aiming to modernize the South African Maritime and Aeronautic Act of 2002, this Bill ensures that our search and rescue systems meet international standards. Strengthening the AMSAR system not only boosts safety for maritime and aeronautical activities but also fosters the growth of these vital industries, driving economic development. Anyone with an interest in these fields can review the Bill and share their feedback. Public comments are now open, and your contributions could play a key role in shaping the future of our maritime and aviation industries. Let’s collaborate to build a safer, more resilient future. #MaritimeIndustry #AMSARBill #PublicSafety #EconomicGrowth #SouthAfrica #Legislation #PublicParticipation

Vietnam advised to develop aviation supporting industries Aviation industry experts have pointed out that while the number of aircraft and new airports has surged significantly, the supporting industry for the sector remains small and underdeveloped in Vietnam, failing to keep pace with international competitors. At the Vietnam Aviation Investment Programme held in Ho Chi Minh City on August 15, the disparity in the country's aviation sector was attributed to the lack of core technology within the industry, according to experts.... https://bit.ly/3WXCbvs #Vietnam #Aviation #Aerospace #SoutheastAsia Via vir.com.vn

The air transport industry has put in place a far-reaching plan to eliminate carbon emissions and achieve net zero by 2050. To support this environmental transformation in France, the French Civil Aviation Authority has launched the DECOR project, with funding from the France 2030 investment plan, to demonstrate eco-friendly flight operations. Thales is leading the project, working in partnership with Airbus, Air France, Amelia, Atmosphere, CERFACS, CGX AERO, FRACS and ONERA, and sponsored by DSNA and supported by EUROCONTROL.

📍 In Strasbourg today, at the European Parliament, for the #ECAC's 42nd Plenary Triennial Session. Thank you to #ECAC's President Alessio Quaranta for leading this session, bringing together DGCA's Directors General and representatives from several key #aviation partners, such as #EASA, #ICAO, and #EU. In my speech, I highlighted once again the importance of working in partnership, within and beyond European boundaries, to tackle the major aviation challenges of today, be it #sustainability, #capacity, #weather disruptions, or #traffic growth in our already limited airspace. Today's society is demanding a lot from us, but I am deeply convinced the aviation world can deliver #together. Big thanks to the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) for their support & commitment.👏

Moving forward the agenda for sustainable civil aviation.

Hosting today the 3rd General Assembly of #AZEA, the Alliance for Zero-Emission Aviation. Led by #DEFIS, the European Commission's Directorate-General for Defence Industry and Space, AZEA examines the challenges that need to be met to pave the way for a successful adoption of #hydrogen & electric flight ✈️ technologies in Europe. On the agenda: 🍃 Welcome by EUROCONTROL's Acting Director of European Green Sky Marylin Bastin 🍃 Welcome by AZEA Chair François Arbault of the European Commission 🍃 Keynote by Jan-Christoph Oetjen, Vice-President of the European Parliament 🍃 Policy Toolkit to Accelerate the Uptake of Electric and Hydrogen Aircraft – A Presentation by Alejandro de Quero Cordero from the World Economic Forum 🍃 Presentations by working groups on achievements & 2024 objectives. We've been an #AZEA member right from the start in 2022 - bringing our unique #aviationdata & state-of-the-art modelling capabilities to the table to support the integration of #zeroemission aircraft 🍃✈️ into the European aviation network. This includes forecasts & analysis to 🌱 support the definition of rollout scenarios 🌱 help identify operational & financial incentives for flights operated by such aircraft 🌱 assess fuelling requirements & green energy needs at network level.
