Gulfstream Aerospace, the principal sponsor of the second edition of The Irish Business and General Aviation Association’s (IBGAA) annual conference on 1 November, will be revisiting business aviation’s significant progress on sustainability by moderating a panel session titled ‘Navigating aviation’s dynamic path to efficiency and sustainability’.
IBGAA is putting this topic front and centre for the second year, amid calls for operators and executive aircraft owners to be more visible in their efforts to demonstrate measurable improvements in operational sustainability. That can be carbon offsetting, book and claim, and the increased use of SAF, which is becoming more widely available
The panel of representatives driving this important discussion will include 4Air president Kennedy Ricci; NBAA director of environmental and technical operations Stewart D’Leon; Neste, vice president, EMEA Alexander Kuper; and Nicola-Jane Sellers, group sustainability manager at Luxaviation Group.
Gulfstream Technical Fellow Charles Etter, said “The goal of the industry is to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050. Sharing the indisputable progress we have made so far is vastly important as we continue to tackle this complex issue.”
IBGAA Founding Executive Director Joe Buckley said ““We are very pleased to welcome Gulfstream back as our principal sponsor. We are gearing up for a diverse and interesting event packed with hot topics and plenty of networking opportunities across the business aviation and ultra-luxe tourism industries. All in the most stunning of settings at the award-winning prestigious gold resort, Adare Manor,”
Ireland’s Minister of State for Transport, Environment, Climate and Communications, Jack Chambers, will deliver the opening keynote.
