Earlier this month, at the Canadian Aerospace Summit in Ottawa, industry leaders reaffirmed our shared commitment to decarbonization, acknowledging both the urgency and the opportunity to shape a sustainable future for aviation. A new national consortium—H2CanFly—was launched to accelerate hydrogen flight from concept to commercialization. However, decarbonization of the aerospace industry requires a nationwide, constant effort that unites our brightest minds and industrial strengths.
Advanced aircraft design: Airbus is dedicated to designing more efficient aircraft. Our A220 models, destined for worldwide customers, but produced here in Canada, deliver 25 per cent lower CO2 emissions compared to previous generations. These technological advancements are key to making immediate strides in reducing our carbon footprint—as they are already available and flying. 2.
