UAE plans to establish green aviation centre to reduce carbon emissions

The UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority and Hong Kong-based green air mobility tech company Volar Air Mobility have signed an interim agreement to develop the Emirates’ first green aviation technology centre as the country pushes ahead with plans to boost environmental sustainability. The centre aims to promote clean energy, support research and development in sustainable aviation technologies, and foster collaboration among international stakeholders, regulators and innovators, the UAE’s aviation regulator said on Saturday. The UAE’s vision to become a world leader in green technology and reduce carbon emissions in the aviation sector, the statement added. “This reflects our commitment to advancing sustainable aviation and supporting the UAE’s national strategy to reduce carbon emissions,” Saif Al Suwaidi, director general of the GCAA, said. “The green aviation hub will play a pivotal role in developing cutting-edge solutions for a greener future.”<br/>
