11/09/2024

The air transport industry has put in place a far-reaching plan to eliminate carbon emissions and achieve net zero by 2050. To support this environmental transformation in France, the French Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC) has launched the DECOR project, with funding from the France 2030 investment plan, to demonstrate eco-friendly flight operations.

Thales is leading the project, working in partnership with Airbus, Air France, Amelia, Atmosphere, CERFACS, CGX AERO, FRACS and ONERA, and sponsored by DSNA and supported by EUROCONTROL. The innovative DECOR project aims to develop and optimise new digital solutions by 2025 to reduce the environmental footprint of the air transport industry thanks to flight path optimisation and more efficient air traffic flow management.
