New aircraft landing procedures that reduce the use of fuel – as well as lower emissions and noise – have been performed in flight trials with Scandinavian Airlines A330s. These evaluations were conducted in a cooperative effort involving Airbus, Scandinavian Airlines and the Swedish LFV airport authority, and validated the continuous descent approach (CDA) concept for airport landings. |

With its permanent search to improve on environmental issues, Airbus is also thinking way ahead, considering the whole life cycle of its airliners through its process for Advanced Management of End-of-Life Aircraft, called PAMELA. Following successful tests performed on the A300, Airbus has applied this process to its latest product, the A380, using the static test cells for not only successfully dismantling the frame and components, but also recycling the parts. |

In its continued efforts to reduce the aviation industry's environmental impact, Airbus has entered a partnership with Honeywell Aerospace, UOP, International Aero Engines and JetBlue Airways with the goal of developing a sustainable second-generation bio-fuel. These fuels will meet the performance specifications necessary for flight, while producing lower levels of emissions and a reduced carbon footprint when compared to kerosene. |

Airbus has conducted a flight test using gas to liquid kerosene in its continuing efforts to lead the industry in environmental research. This product - synthesized through the Fischer-Tropsch process - is cleaner than the oil-derived jet fuel used with current commercial aircraft, which will result in lower emissions. |

Airbus is extremely pleased to announce that the Clean Sky JTI research programme was formally adopted on 20 December 2007 by the Council of Ministers following on from the positive vote at the European Parliament, on 11 December. Clean Sky is the programme that will radically improve the impact of Air Transport on the environment. The project's official launching event "Clean Sky TAKE OFF" will be held on 5 February 2008 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Brussels. To register for this event or just learn more about Clean Sky, you are welcome to visit the web site: www.cleansky.eu. |
