Quotes from leaders in the industry

Though there is no doubt as to the value to society of aviation, the industry is facing an enormous challenge to reduce and mitigate its impact on the environment.

Airports are central to this challenge, as they influence, directly and indirectly, the full range of the carbon impact of aviation.

Ian Taylor

Global Aviation Business Leader, Arup

Airports, airlines and aviation services providers must work together to play our collective part in decarbonizing aviation. All progress is good, and Menzies is leading the charge in our sector. We are focused on collaborating with all stakeholders to make a positive impact now and for the future.

Hassan El Houry

CEO, Menzies Aviation

We see the Airports of Tomorrow (AoT) initiative of the WEF as a critical endeavour. Airports are the backbone of the air transport system and this new initiative should be very helpful in furthering all the efforts already engaged and making swift progress towards the sector's decarbonisation journey.
