EASA is dedicated to making General Aviation (GA) more sustainable. Building on the success of the past GA Roadmap, the Agency has launched the new GA Flightpath 2030+ program in 2024
. GA is seen as a cradle for development, testing, and industrialization of innovations that, when tested and implemented operationally, can drive improvements across the entire aviation sector in safety and sustainability.The ‘Greener Faster‘ initiative is designed to achieve sector- wide agreement on what sustainable GA means and how everyone can work together to accelerate the transition of GA propulsion technology, infrastructure and fuels to support sustainable operations and the objective of carbon- free aviation by 2050. This will be complemented by the ‘Fly Direct‘ initiative that aims to optimize GA operations in the airspace by removing unnecessary operational restrictions, allowing aircraft to safely navigate the most efficient and environmentally friendly routes.
