“
I’m struck by how mainstream sustainability is in the aviation industry. Ten or fifteen years ago there was some skepticism, but now it’s front and center. Airports are making commitments to net zero greenhouse gas emissions, facilities are becoming more sustainable, everybody’s thinking about energy and zero waste.”
