Together with our members, we will continue to push on with the development of sustainable aviation fuels at the whole value chain from production to utilization.”
On behalf of Rolls-Royce Deutschland, CEO Dr. Jörg Au said: “Aviation is a highly positive force, as it connects the world. However, we have to ensure its sustainability.
