At a recent Aerospace, Defence and Security (ADS) event in London Warren East, CEO Rolls-Royce described how public concern about aviation emissions is endangering Rolls-Royce’s license to operate. He talked about the importance of the aviation sector and how critical it is for connecting travellers and businesses across the globe; a key driver of growth and wellbeing.
"Flight has been such a good thing for everybody. The question is how do we, in the world of aviation, need to pioneer flying without adding more CO2 to the atmosphere? " he asked.
"At Rolls-Royce, we were pioneers 100 years ago, and we are pioneers today. We don't have all of the answers yet, we are part of the solution."
