Focus Area - Sustainability
Sustainability is a growing area of interest around the globe in all areas of business and industry and its importance in the future of airshows should not be underestimated. Whilst it may be perceived that airshows are the worst contributors in the events industry, aircraft displaying contribute only a small amount of the total emissions, with ground aspects being the greater contributor. It is however hugely important that we all look at ways to ensure our operations are as green, clean and work to ensure our business is as sustainable as it can be for the future.
