Business aviation leaders laud formation of Senate Sustainable Aviation Caucus

CLIMBING. FAST., an advocacy initiative focused on advancing business aviation’s commitment to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, has welcomed the formation of the bipartisan Senate Sustainable Aviation Caucus.
The caucus has been founded by Senators Jerry Moran (R-KS), Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), John Boozman (R-AR), and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN). Sens. Moran and Duckworth will serve as caucus chairs.
“CLIMBING. FAST. applauds Senators Moran, Duckworth, Boozman, and Klobuchar for forming this important caucus in support of the sector’s goal to reach net-zero carbon emissions. We appreciate their bipartisan leadership on policies to foster aviation sustainability innovation, on the ground and in the air,” the campaign’s organisation partners said in a joint statement.
The formation of the new Senate caucus comes as the industry works to expand access to sustainable aviation fuel, promote innovation and certify emerging technologies to reduce emissions.
The House established a similar caucus in June, also welcomed by CLIMBING. FAST. stakeholders. Together, the two caucuses underscore the value of government-industry partnerships and a shared commitment to sustainability.
The CLIMBING. FAST. advocacy campaign, an international initiative supported by 13 leading aviation organisations, educates policymakers and opinion leaders about business aviation’s many societal benefits, including its leadership role in sustainability, underscored by a sharp focus on achieving net-zero carbon emissions from flight in the years to come.
Its partners include the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, Aircraft Electronics Association, Alpha Eta Rho Aviation fraternity, European Business Aviation Association, Experimental Aircraft Association, General Aviation Manufacturers Association, International Aircraft Dealers Association, International Business Aviation Council, National Aircraft Finance Association, National Air Transportation Association, National Business Aviation Association, Vertical Aviation International and Women in Corporate Aviation.
