What kind of action our member company SAS - Scandinavian Airlines taking towards more sustainable aviation?

- Investing in newer aircraft of the right size to create less emission.
- Collaborating with Gevo., Neste, and several others to produce Sustainable aviation fuel.

-Making the interior of the aircraft lighter; seats, carpets, USB charges, and much more.
