Boeing Innovation Forum held at Glasgow Airport

The Boeing Innovation Forum, a two-day event hosted by Glasgow Airport and Boeing to promote innovation and sustainability within the industry, took place 6-7 October. The event brought together partners in the aviation sector to demonstrate the role today’s sustainable technologies can play in the future of aviation and prepare the industry for a more sustainable future. The centrepiece of the two-day forum was a visit by Boeing’s ecoDemonstrator aircraft. Since its introduction in 2012, the ecoDemonstrator aircraft programme has accelerated innovation by testing nearly 200 technologies to address challenges for airlines, passengers and the environment.

Derek Provan, Chief Executive of AGS Airports Ltd, said, “This two-day event is about recognising the huge progress that the aviation and aerospace sectors have made as we work towards decarbonising what is truly one of the most global industries and looking ahead to what else we can achieve through innovation and partnerships on our collective journey to net zero”.
