Like any other form of public mass transport that relies on finite planetary resources, aviation cannot (in its present form) be considered sustainable in the very long term. Because of the finite nature of the resources upon which aviation relies, it is more realistic in the medium term to think how best to improve the sustainability of air transport rather than it achieving sustainable development. Laversab Aviation Systems is incredibly concerned with the nature of environmental issues for aviation. That is why they put so much focus in developing pitot-static systems that not only function efficiently and effectively, but which are manufactured in an environmentally-friendly fashion.
Demand for air transport is continually growing and, if this demand is to be met with all the attendant benefits, society must also accept the costs (noise, pollution, climate change, risk, resource use etc). Whilst it is not possible to make aviation sustainable (in its present form) in the very long term, much can be and is being done to improve aviation’s sustainability including:
- ensuring safety and security;
- efficiently optimising available capacity;
- collaborating to achieve a shared vision for more sustainable aviation;
- making decisions based on optimising the balance between social, economic and environmental imperatives;
- serving the need for mobility in a manner where the greatest overall benefit will arise, meeting the needs of stakeholders;
- taking every opportunity to minimise adverse impacts and resource use by creating and operating more efficient ATM systems, equipment and technology;
- targeting efforts where they will produce the greatest improvement in our citizen’s quality of life;
- investing in adequate research, training, education and awareness;
- being transparent and honest about both the good and bad aspects of air transport;
- avoid conflicting policy and regulations.
