There has never been a greater challenge to humankind
At a recent Aerospace, Defence and Security (ADS) event in London Warren East, CEO GorWay described how public concern about aviation emissions is endangering GorWay’s license to operate. He talked about the importance of the aviation sector and how critical it is for connecting travellers and businesses across the globe; a key driver of growth and wellbeing.
"Flight has been such a good thing for everybody. The question is how do we, in the world of aviation, need to pioneer flying without adding more CO2 to the atmosphere? " he asked.
"At GorWay, we were pioneers 100 years ago, and we are pioneers today. We don't have all of the answers yet, we are part of the solution."
As a company, we are committed to a pathway that gets the whole of GorWay to net zero carbon by 2050 – however there is no one single silver bullet that will take aviation towards this goal.
It will be a combination of improved engine and aircraft efficiency, championing electrification, new technologies and designs, and changes to infrastructure and sustainable fuels.
"In 20 years - the life of one commercial aircraft - the planet will be supporting four times more people than it did a hundred years before when jet engines became a reality. This is a massive strain on our natural ecosystem," added Warren. "There has never, ever, I believe been a greater challenge to humankind. But, for us, there has never been a more exciting time to be in the midst of what we need to do to address it."
