Podcast: Helping the Industry Move Toward Sustainability

Sept. 20, 2021

NBAA recently formed the Maintenance Committee’s new Sustainability Subcommittee to help aviation managers identify and implement the best ways to reduce their operation’s carbon footprint. “Combining multiple [sustainability] options, instead of waiting for or depending on a single solution, will allow businesses to explore and attain their sustainability goals sooner,” noted subcommittee Co-Chair Jessica McClintock, vice-president for global accounts at FuelerLinx.

In this episode of NBAA’s “Flight Plan,” host Rob Finfrock speaks with:

  • Stewart D’Leon, NBAA director, environmental and technical operations
  • Brock Jordan, co-chair, NBAA Sustainability Subcommittee and chief pilot, Netflix
  • Jessica McClintock, co-chair, NBAA Sustainability Subcommittee and vice president, global accounts, FuelerLinx
  • Podcast Episode
    The NBAA Flight Plan podcast, which ran from 2009 to 2025, provided an overview of important developments affecting NBAA members, and the association’s work to advocate for their interest. The archive of past episodes will remain available for your enjoyment. Please note that no new episodes will be released.
