Podcast: How Aviation Managers Can Help CEOs Embrace Sustainability

Oct. 7, 2024

A big part of the business aviation community’s mission to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 involves collaboration with company leadership. The first step often involves flight operation managers engaging with their principals in an important conversation about sustainability. “You don’t want to wait for sustainability to become a corporate directive,” notes NBAA Sustainability Subcommittee Member Bas de Bruijn. “Lead the conversation and demonstrate how the flight operation can drive the company’s sustainability efforts.”

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

  • John Benjamin, member of the NBAA Sustainability Subcommittee
  • Bas de Bruijn, member of the NBAA Sustainability Subcommittee
