This year’s edition of impact – Insights covers the full spectrum of challenges and innovations shaping aviation’s path to Net Zero. From SAF supply to financing, emissions to regulation—we break down the real forces reshaping our industry. 

What’s inside? 

🛢️ Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) 

  • How a leasing company’s bold move into SAF production challenges the traditional role of lessors—outlier or visionary? 
  • Why the EU’s Sustainable Transport Investment Plan (STIP) could be pivotal to unlocking e-SAF offtakes 
  • What a detailed cost analysis reveals about compliance with ReFuelEU: “too expensive” isn’t the whole story 

📈 Emissions Trends 

  • Aviation’s CO₂ emissions are now above 2019 levels—why efficiency alone isn’t enough 
  • Why airlines are still flying older, fuel-hungry twin-aisle aircraft—and what’s holding back fleet renewal 
  • Will the EU’s 20 million “free SAF allowances” meaningfully accelerate green fuel adoption? 

🏗️ Finance & KPIs 

  • How airport sustainable finance is evolving to include aircraft emissions KPIs and Scope 3 targets 
  • We spotlight easyJet’s decarbonization strategy, bridging delivery gaps and transition challenges 

🎤 Special features include 
✨ Highlights from the ISTAT / impact Sustainability Symposium and 
🚀 The Sustainable Aero Festival, where emerging tech, regulation, and business models converge 

  • Expert insights from our member-exclusive talks, reflecting the complexity and interdependence of aviation’s transition 

The aviation transition is multi-layered, fast-moving, and interconnected—and impact – Insights 2025 is your guide to staying ahead of it. 

impact webinar “Heading to Net Zero: Re-routing aviation’s technology transition?”

Can commercial aviation realistically develop and adopt the new technologies crucial to achieving Net Zero by 2050? This questions was addressed during impact’s first webinar on June 12, hosted by ISTAT as one of its Learning Lab sessions.

Aviation stands at a critical juncture in its decarbonization journey. The path to Net Zero will be shaped by technology — but what’s truly possible over the next 15 years? The expert round, moderated by Michael Halaby (MUFG), featured Jonathon Counsell (IAG), Sandrine Lacorre (CFM International), Dan Rutherford (ICCT) and Julian Renz (ZeroAvia) for a lively discussion on topics including

🔍 What’s a realistic trajectory for aviation’s technology shift?
🛩️ How big a step can Airbus and Boeing take by 2035?
🔥 Can gas-turbine innovation still surprise us?
🚀 Is a new tech player capable of launching a mainline airliner by the late 2030s?
📉 What are the risks of inaction vs early-mover advantage?
🐉 Could China emerge as a disruptive force in global aviation?
