NTU supported the organisation of the Regional Workshop on Environmental Matters for Aeroplane Operators on 25-28 February in Sri Lanka

Workshop with 45 representatives

The Regional Workshop on 'Environment matters for aeroplane operators' was held between the 25th and the 28th of February 2020 in Katunayake (Sri Lanka) and featured the attendance of 45 representatives.

The main goal of the workshop was to provide support for the implementation of environmental roadmaps in the South Asian region, in line with the framework of EU South Asia Aviation Partnership Project. Environment Matters in aviation showcases the importance of environmental sustainability programs, providing better understanding of the measures to be adopted by the participants in accordance with ICAO regulations and the implementation of the CORSIA Provision-scheme.

The workshop focused on the diverse nature of aeroplane operators from the member states involved and their relations with the respective Civil Aviation Authorities, delivering for all the parties a concrete overview of the current environmental situation and project implementation status. The workshop facilitated a platform for participants to contribute to the development of further strategies, taking into consideration the various implications and which address possible issues with the goal of improving the overall environmental performance of the South Asian Aviation Sector.
