Aviation 2026: Between Technological Acceleration and a Shaky Geopolitical Reality – Part I

Aviation is heading into one of its most transformative years. In this two-part report, we explore the shifts redefining how the industry will operate in 2026 and what they mean for the future of flight.

Grounded Waste: Rethinking Single-Use Plastic in Airports

Grounded Waste: Rethinking Single-Use Plastic in Airports

Airports function like mini-cities, and produce waste like them too. While attention often goes to carbon emissions, single-use plastic remains a major blind spot. This Plastic-Free July, we highlight the growing efforts to cut plastic waste in terminals worldwide and the roadblocks along the way.

From Terminals to Transformation: The Hidden Climate Role of Airports

From Terminals to Transformation: The Hidden Climate Role of Airports

When we talk about climate action in aviation, most eyes turn to the sky — to aircraft emissions, sustainable fuels, and flight optimization. But on the ground, airports hold massive untapped potential. Functioning like small cities, they consume enormous energy, shape passenger behavior, and present powerful opportunities for environmental impact.

From Waste to Wings: Mapping Israel’s Emerging SAF Ecosystem

From Waste to Wings: Mapping Israel’s Emerging SAF Ecosystem

As SAF becomes a global priority, Israel’s own innovation ecosystem is stepping up.
From carbon capture in water and air, to modular syngas systems and catalytic fuel synthesis, this snapshot highlights how local startups are helping shape a more sustainable future for aviation.

Earth Month Spotlight: Sustainable Aviation Fuel’s Role in Green Aviation

Earth Month Spotlight: Sustainable Aviation Fuel’s Role in Green Aviation

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is at the heart of aviation’s decarbonization strategy — but despite bold targets, adoption remains slow. In this piece, we break down the key insights from BCG’s latest report on SAF, offering a clear look at the challenges, opportunities, and what it will take to scale this critical solution.

The Real Impact of SAF Adoption: Beyond the Headlines 

The Real Impact of SAF Adoption: Beyond the Headlines 

SAF has been making headlines as the future of sustainable aviation — but what’s really happening behind the scenes? In this piece, we go beyond the announcements to explore the true state of SAF adoption worldwide: who’s leading, what’s holding the market back, and how global policies and regional efforts are shaping the path forward.
