AviaDev Insight Africa

267. Sustainability in the air. Understanding the African opportunity with Dirk Singer, Head of Sustainability


Listen Later

In this episode, we dive into a topic that has been dominating conversations over the last couple of years, specifically aviation’s role in supporting the drive towards net zero and a more sustainable industry.

To do this I am joined by Dirk Singer, the Head of Sustainability at Simpliflying, a consulting firm that is dedicated to supporting a greener and more environmentally sustainable future for air travel. 

Together we discuss:

  • How best to address the topic of sustainability with industry stakeholders?
  • What Simpliflying is aiming to achieve with the book? 
  • Should Africa be subject to the same sustainability targets as everyone else, when its aviation industry is unprofitable?
  • Who should finance sustainability?
  • What can African aviation and governmental stakeholders be doing now to capitalise on the opportunity?
