Paris Air Show Preview
Vive l’Avion!
Next Monday will see the return of the Paris Air Show after a four-year hiatus. The world’s oldest and biggest air show draws crowds of more than 300,000, from airframers to airlines to all-around aviation lovers, and GE Aerospace will be there in full force. More sustainable flight is a subject that will be on everyone’s minds, so to get the conversation started, GE Aerospace commissioned a survey of 325 global aviation decision makers to take their pulse on where the industry stands on its path toward net zero. The intriguing results can be found here.
