IfL participated in the InterFAB Research Workshop

Experts from different specialist areas shared latest research into opportunities to deliver more sustainable aviation in a time of climate change at the InterFAB annual research workshop. Opened by the European Commissioner for the Environment Virginijus Sinkevicius, high level panelists including representatives from the EUROCNTROL performance review board (PRB), the European Commission, and European Civil Aviation Authorities. 

The forum brought together senior climate professionals, policy makers, air navigation service providers, academics and operational experts from all over Europe to discuss ways to monitor and mitigate against the impact of climate change.
