Marking Airbus\u2019 first collaboration with an aircraft lessor for its ZEROe project, the airframe manufacturer has partnered with Avolon at this year\u2019s Farnborough International Airshow.<\/p>\n
\u201cJoining the ZEROe project is another step in Avolon\u2019s sustainability journey and we look forward to building on our long-standing partnership with Airbus to consider how the next generation of aircraft will be financed and commercialised,\u201d said Paul Geaney, president and chief commercial officer, Avolon.<\/p>\n
Adding that a wide ecosystem of contributors is integral to overcoming the challenges of hydrogen powered commercial flight, Geaney continued: \u201cWhile we continue to focus on supporting our customers in modernising their fleets with lower emissions aircraft, it is also vital we look beyond that at what can further drive our industry\u2019s decarbonisation.\u201d<\/p>\n
In line with the agreement, the two companies will explore the opportunities for financing and commercialising hydrogen-powered flight with Airbus putting significant resources into investigating how the industry can introduce hydrogen as a fuel and the infrastructure that is required on the ground with airports and airlines.<\/p>\n
Glenn Llewellyn, Airbus vice president ZEROe project concluded: \u201cThere is real value in bringing together industry players to help solve the challenges facing aviation. We know we can\u2019t solve decarbonisation alone and welcome Avolon\u2019s expertise and worldwide leadership in the aircraft leasing business. Working together to consider how the transition can be commercialised and financed for airline customers is crucial to success.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
