KUALA LUMPUR: Aircraft manufacturer Airbus is seeking new partnerships in Malaysia to work towards the decarbonisation of the aerospace sector in a cross-sectoral approach.
President for Asia-Pacific Anand Stanley said sustainability has become a critical factor for airlines around the world when making their fleet decisions, taking Malaysia Airlines’ and AirAsia’s migration to the A330 neo, A320 neo and A321 neo family as examples.
“Fleet renewal with the latest generation aircraft can bring an immediate reduction in fuel consumption and emissions of around 25%.
“The next phase will be the increased use of sustainable aviation fuel and ultimately the use of new low energy sources such as hydrogen,” he said at a media roundtable. — Bernama
