I have just found this video on CNN made during the Aviation & Environment Summit last year. We are already in planning mode for the 5th Aviation & Environment Summit, to be held in Geneva on 16 and 17 September. It comes at an important time for aviation - just a few weeks before the general assembly of ICAO - the industry's global regulator, and a few months ahead of the important COP16 climate talks to be held in Mexico.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has just touched down in Geneva for a series of intergovernmental talks. As she disembarked outside our office window, I was impressed to see her aircraft - a Boeing 757 - fitted out with huge winglets that will help save a lot of fuel. These have been available on the Boeing 737 for quite some time and a lot of airlines are taking advantage of their ability to reduce fuel use (and therefore reduce emissions). Now, as you can see, 757's are being equipped and Aviation Partners have launched winglets for the 767 and recently the Airbus 320 aircraft.
