To achieve this mission, Airports of Tomorrow looks to accelerate aviation’s net zero journey through cross-sectoral collaboration and public-private sector engagement.
Leveraging the World Economic Forum platform, Airports of Tomorrow aims to help stakeholders navigate through the rapidly changing aviation market, so to inform a coordinated vision to achieve net zero and unlock greater benefits for industry.
Airports of Tomorrow's work focuses on the main challenges shaping the future of the aviation sector:

Overcome barriers to scaling SAF production by identifying de-risking mechanisms for project finance and supporting policy synergies globally.

Identify under which policy and techno-economic circumstances can net zero aviation technology be deployed within airports.

Share tangible tools and best practices on how innovation can accelerate aviation decarbonization, resilience and circularity.
As more governments look into sustainable aviation policy, mandates and incentives, what synergies can be created, regionally and globally, to create a level playing field and accelerate technology deployment?
As airlines and airports look at greater SAF usage and zero-emission propulsion towards 2040s, what value chains and infrastructure options need to be developed, and how do stakeholders plan ahead?
How to finance the transition to green aviation and build public-private sector partnerships to reduce costs for passengers and deploy cost-effective ways to decarbonise in-flight and on-the-ground airport operations?
How can cross-value chain collaboration and digitization unlock interoperable book-and-claim systems for SAF usage, and support the development of resilient, circular, nature positive airport and airline operations?
