It is developing hydrogen-electric, or fuel cell, powertrains for commercial aircraft with the promise of near-zero inflight emissions. Its flight is testing a prototype for a 20-seat plane and is designing an engine for bigger aircraft, like a Bombardier CRJ700, which American operates on some regional routes.

“Moving commercial aviation to a low-carbon future will require investment in convincing technologies, but it will also include other forms of drive. This move will accelerate the development of technologies required to power our industry and fulfil our commitment to making American Airlines a sustainable airline so that we can keep delivering for customers far into the future,” said Robert Isom, CEO of American Airlines. This statement brings forth that this investment and conditional purchase of new engine technology are aligned with American Airlines’ aggressive goal to reach net-zero GHG emissions by 2050. In the last few years, American Airlines has successfully implemented the largest fleet renewal program in commercial aviation history, which has created the youngest mainline fleet among the major US network carriers and is showing improved fuel efficiency.
American Airlines has made significant investments in sustainability—including entering into an offtake agreement with Infinium, a producer of next-generation low-carbon sustainable aviation fuel—before it goes ahead and becomes the first customer for Graphyte’s leading-edge, permanently removing carbon removal process.

“In signing this purchase agreement and increasing its investment, America is further validating our mission of innovation for clean aircraft propulsion. This is further validation that ZeroAvia is delivering on our technology roadmap. Solutions that can serve the largest airlines are within reach, and the clean future of flight is coming,” said Val Miftakhov, Founder & CEO of ZeroAvia. Hydrogen fuel cell-based engines from ZeroAvia power the propellers with electric motors using hydrogen in a fuel cell to generate electricity. The only emission in-flight is very low-temperature water vapor, and using less-intensive electrical systems adds potential cost savings.

Summer Travel Alert: Big Disruptions Expected at Istanbul and JFK Airports https://wonderlust.in/summer-travel-alert-big-disruptions-expected-at-istanbul-and-jfk-airports/ https://wonderlust.in/summer-travel-alert-big-disruptions-expected-at-istanbul-and-jfk-airports/#respond Tue, 09 Jul 2024 09:47:42 +0000 https://wonderlust.in/?p=2313 Helping to decrease these risks and reduce pressure at these busy airports, Servantrip will recommend the following tips for travel agencies, tour operators, and travellers: Add some buffer time with services that oblige to delay passing through customs and security. Servantrip introduced the possibility of buffer time, providing the traveller with extended time at complex airports.

Research the airport layout, terminal maps, and the location of all the essential facilities, such as check-in counters, security checkpoints, and gates, to plan for a visit and arrive early. Provide clients with advice on arriving early to go through the airport smoothly and handle unexpected delays.
Partner with providers with solid relationships with airlines, ground transport companies, and local authorities to decrease this impact and improve service reliability.

Make way for infrastructural changes and plan transfers so that it won’t create a congestion problem and consume a much smoother traveling experience, especially for ongoing developments at airports like JFK.
Speaking on the occasion, Manuel Núñez, CEO of Servantrip, has taken the opportunity to point out just how complex some of the airports are—like Istanbul Airport or JFK—and to insist that the company is committed to providing solutions aimed at minimizing these issues. Servantrip recently announced the new ‘buffer time’ service, which intends to give travellers enough buffer time to go through customs and security and make the airport experience much more relaxed. By planning ahead and utilizing professional transfer services, guests can reduce the potential risks of challenging environments to a minimum.

One of Servantrip’s witnesses, Talixo, who operates in some of the most complicated airports, tracks flights for all airport pick-ups, changing times if the flight schedule does indeed change. Their fleet management technology makes automated checks on drivers’ locations and optimizes routes to ensure rides arrive on time. As stated by Gabriele Tagliavia from Talixo, Chief Operating Officer, the company is warning of expected disruption this summer at JFK due to the redevelopment efforts underway; already, there has been severe congestion at pick-up points.

Another of the leading airport transportation providers is AirportTransfer.com, connecting travellers around the globe to reliable transfers every day. Sensing disruptions in transfers and improving service reliability can be achieved with closer collaboration with airlines, ground transportation providers, and local authorities. According to Feyza Akpinar, Global Supplier Account Manager & Pricing at AirportTransfer.com, Istanbul Airport will be busier than ever this summer. This only proves that careful planning, along with advanced technology to monitor flights and airport flows, could mean timely arrivals and the ability to manage passenger expectations.
