Google and UK partners launch AI contrail avoidance trial

Google is partnering with the UK Government and aviation stakeholders on Operation Blue Skies, an AI-powered trial to reduce warming contrails over the North Atlantic.

The programme will operate in the eastern half of the North Atlantic corridor, within Shanwick airspace, which accounts for around 5% of global contrail warming.

Over 30 months, the project will run two operational trials, each lasting around four months, with selected flights slightly adjusted to avoid contrail-sensitive regions.

The consortium includes Google UK, NATS, Contrails.org, Imperial College London, the University of Cambridge, and the Met Office.

The initiative moves contrail avoidance from individual airline trials toward coordinated airspace-scale climate mitigation.

African ministers renew push to accelerate open skies implementation

African Union member states have recommitted to accelerating implementation of the Yamoussoukro Decision and the Single African Air Transport Market.

The Lomé Declaration, adopted at the African Air Transport Convention and Exhibition in Togo, focuses on moving beyond political commitments to measurable implementation.

The declaration calls for removing market access barriers, liberalising air services, reducing excessive aviation taxes and fees, streamlining visas and border processes, and strengthening cargo networks.

It also links aviation reform to broader priorities, including infrastructure investment, SAF and cleaner energy, digital transformation, workforce development, safety, security, and regulatory oversight.

AFCAC will now prepare a post-Lomé implementation roadmap with priority actions, responsible institutions, timelines, resource needs, and reporting mechanisms.

Embraer targets Africa growth through new routes and E190 freighters

Embraer sees Africa’s low air connectivity as a major opportunity to expand aircraft sales across the continent.

According to Hussein Dabbas, Embraer’s Director General of Institutional Relations for Africa and the Middle East, Africa accounts for less than 6% of global air traffic despite having more than 1.2 billion people.

The company says many African city pairs still lack regular direct service, with some passengers required to connect through external hubs such as Paris or Dubai when travelling between cities on the continent.

Embraer sees its aircraft size as a strategic advantage for these markets, allowing airlines to fly smaller city pairs more frequently instead of operating only two, three, or four times per week.

Cargo is also becoming part of the opportunity. Embraer has been converting first-generation E-Jets, especially the E190, into freighters with capacity of up to 13 tonnes.

The company sees this as relevant for Africa because road and rail networks remain limited in parts of the continent, while air freight can move perishables, medicine, and other time-sensitive cargo more quickly between regions.

Embraer raises 2026 outlook after record second-quarter revenue

Embraer reported US$2.2 billion in revenue in the second quarter of 2026, setting a new record for the April–June period.

Revenue increased 23% year on year, while adjusted EBIT reached US$296.9 million with a 13.3% margin.

The stronger performance led Embraer to raise its full-year guidance. The company now expects a 2026 adjusted EBIT margin of 10% to 10.6%, up from the previous range of 8.7% to 9.3%.

Deliveries also strengthened, with 65 aircraft delivered in the quarter, Embraer’s best second-quarter delivery performance in 16 years.

The backlog reached US$34.5 billion, marking a seventh consecutive quarterly record and signalling sustained demand across the company’s aerospace portfolio.

EU-Morocco aviation agreement update leaves Western Sahara outside scope

The European Parliament has approved a technical update to the EU-Morocco Euro-Mediterranean Aviation Agreement following Croatia’s accession to the European Union.

The protocol does not change the territorial scope of the agreement, meaning Western Sahara remains outside the aviation framework.

The position follows EU case law, under which EU-Morocco agreements cannot apply to Western Sahara unless the people of the territory have given consent.

The European Commission has also stated that the EU-Morocco aviation agreement does not apply to routes between EU member states and Western Sahara.

The issue remains operationally relevant, as European airlines have continued to operate services to airports in the territory despite the agreement’s legal limitations.

Senegal’s Blaise Diagne Airport records stronger H1 traffic growth

Blaise Diagne International Airport handled 1.48 million passengers in the first half of 2026, up 4.3% year on year.

Europe remained the airport’s largest market, with 693,468 passengers and 7.62% growth, while African traffic reached 581,971 passengers, up 3.33%.

Cargo activity expanded faster than passenger traffic, with freight volumes rising 17.93% to 22.3 million kilograms.

Exports were a key driver, increasing by 26.57% during the period.

The performance points to renewed momentum after 2025, when passenger growth was almost flat, and both flight frequency and cargo volumes declined.

ACSA seeks bids for solar plant at King Shaka International Airport

Airports Company South Africa has invited bids for a solar photovoltaic plant at King Shaka International Airport in KwaZulu-Natal.

The project requires a minimum installed capacity of 2 MWp, with the system planned across the airport’s long-stay and car rental parking areas.

The plant will initially operate on a zero-export basis, but the design must accommodate future exports, additional PV capacity, and later integration of battery storage.

ACSA is also requiring airport-specific technical standards, including anti-glare modules, aviation authority glare approval, real-time monitoring, and integration with the airport’s electrical infrastructure.

For airports, embedded solar generation is becoming part of a wider shift toward energy resilience, cost control, and lower-emission ground operations.

Embraer nears certification of automatic takeoff system for E2 jets

Embraer is approaching certification of its Enhanced Takeoff System for the E190-E2 and E195-E2 aircraft.

The system automates aircraft rotation and the initial phase of takeoff, using the E2 family’s fly-by-wire controls to maneuver with greater precision.

The main commercial benefit is at performance-limited airports, where runway length, obstacles, or departure constraints can restrict payload or range.

Embraer has estimated that the system could provide the equivalent of 250 to 500 nautical miles of additional effective range in certain operations.

If certified, the technology would give the E2 family a distinctive capability in the regional and crossover jet market.

LAM targets 13 aircraft by the end of 2026

Mozambique’s national carrier LAM plans to expand its operational fleet to 13 aircraft by the end of 2026 as part of its recovery and fleet renewal strategy, according to Management Committee Chairman Dane Kondic.

The airline expects to add four aircraft by December, alongside the return of units undergoing major maintenance, to improve capacity, punctuality, and operational reliability on domestic and regional routes.

The expansion is part of a broader modernization plan aimed at restoring stability and strengthening LAM’s long-term financial sustainability.

At the same time, LAM is also pursuing the acquisition of up to five Boeing 737-700 aircraft through a process led by Knighthood Global, which is supporting the airline’s restructuring and fleet strategy.

Together, these steps signal a more ambitious turnaround effort as LAM works to rebuild its fleet, improve competitiveness, and support future growth.

Fleet renewal remains a major lever for reducing aviation emissions

IATA data shows that new-generation aircraft consistently deliver lower CO2 emissions per seat per block hour than older aircraft across regional jet, narrowbody, and widebody categories.

The gains come from more efficient engines, improved aerodynamics, and in some segments, higher seating capacity through cabin and fuselage optimisation.

Regional jet and narrowbody replacements can reduce emissions per seat by up to 21%, while widebody gains are especially strong when airlines move from four-engine to twin-engine aircraft.

For comparable widebody aircraft, next-generation replacements can deliver around 5–10% emissions savings per trip.

The wider benefit is not only environmental. New-generation aircraft also support lower noise, better passenger comfort, longer range, and improved network flexibility.
