Airbus signs Memorandum of Cooperation with ACI EUROPE

A Memorandum of Cooperation between Airbus and ACI EUROPE was signed to advance collaboration on new aircraft energy ecosystems. By building the necessary supporting airport infrastructure and bringing them to market, the joint objective is to enable the expanded use of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) and to develop the hydrogen ecosystem necessary for the zero-emissions aircraft technology.

By announcing the signature of this agreement, Airbus and ACI EUROPE recognize that a growing emphasis on lowering fuel consumption and environmental effects is a major factor in the decarburization of aviation.

The partnership will support the development of technical guidelines and standards that will speed the adoption of SAF, hydrogen, and electric aircraft.

In order for zero emission flight to become a reality in the near future, this MoC also aims to propose recommendations for the development of an effective legislative and regulatory framework to meet environmental and industrial needs.
