Towards Sustainable Aviation Summit

Based upon the 2022 edition’s success, the “Towards Sustainable Aviation” Summit returns to Toulouse for a second edition, from 28 to 30 January 2025.

This conference will address both aircraft design and operations perspectives to prepare and shape a more Efficient Global Air Transport System with the aim to reach carbon neutrality by 2050 for the aviation ecosystem.

In 2022, TSAS gathered 200 experts issued from 16 countries for 95 presentations reviewed in 27 technical sessions, 8 round tables and/or Keynotes.

A more eco-efficient aircraft would provide more Net Present Value, with, on one hand, a significantly improved environmental footprint via new design and technologies, and on the other hand, using drop in and non-drop-in SAF and potentially new ways of operating aircraft. As a result, the aircraft design would enable to reduce dramatically the operating costs, the cost of ownership, to be sustainable and competitive versus other transportation alternatives, while increasing revenue through cabin services and enhanced aircraft operability.

The ambition for carbon-neutral growth for aviation has open a new era for the aviation ecosystem and new opportunities to meet these new challenges. TSAS 2022 edition highlighted new technologies such as hydrogen propulsion systems, high aspect ratio wing, new systems and materials, new propulsion systems, advanced ATM… TSAS 2025 will collect progress made since former edition on the previous technologies, but also focus on SAF, more electrical aircraft, more autonomous aircraft and some emerging technologies or approaches such as the Artificial Intelligence and the digital transformation of the industry, including the intensive use of big data.

And finally, Security which has not to be seen as a threat but as an opportunity for improvement.
