Airbus and Airports Council International (ACI) World have signed a cooperation agreement to support the industry’s efforts to reduce the environmental impact of aviation.

The partnership leverages the strengths of the aircraft manufacturer and the international association of airports to make significant progress in both decarbonizing aviation and mitigating aircraft noise impact.

The alliance will address key areas including sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), hydrogen technologies, advanced air mobility, operations efficiency, and aircraft noise management practices. It will foster the exchange of information and perspectives on low carbon operations, communicate industry progress, jointly develop guidance materials, and potentially formulate unified positions on policies and standards to achieve industry targets.

“This partnership marks a significant step in our collective efforts to reduce aviation's environmental impact,” said Julie Kitcher, Airbus Chief Sustainability Officer. “By combining our technological expertise with ACI World’s vast network and operational insights, we aim to influence policies and standards that support sustainable aviation and drive industry-wide innovation. Together, we can create a cohesive and aligned approach to achieving our decarbonisation targets and enhancing the sustainability of the global aviation sector."

ACI World Director General and CEO Luis Felipe de Oliveira said: “Airbus and ACI World’s groundbreaking cooperation agreement marks a pivotal step in our journey towards a net-zero carbon aviation industry. This strategic alliance underscores the unwavering commitment of airports worldwide to sustainable aviation, ensuring that we not only reduce our environmental impact but also maximise the socio-economic benefits of air travel. By focusing on key areas such as Sustainable Aviation Fuels, hydrogen technologies, advanced air mobility, operational efficiency, and aircraft noise management, we are setting new benchmarks for sustainability in aviation, and paving the way for a greener future."

This collaboration builds on the successful partnership between Airbus and ACI EUROPE, which began two years ago. The relationship has been strengthened by working together on deploying alternative energies including hydrogen and SAF within European alliances, sharing technical data with European airports, and communicating progress at key industry events. The expansion of this collaboration to a global scale underscores the importance of integrated efforts between aircraft manufacturers and airport operators globally.
