Green Skies Aviation Hub

LCCI’s Aviation ‘Green Skies’ Programme explores London’s aviation landscape and how it can become better prepared to meet the challenges of today for the needs of tomorrow and showcases why it is so vital that aviation becomes sustainable, given its importance to the UK economy.

The significance of aviation to London's economy is too important to ignore. Polling by LCCI and Savanta highlighted that 83% of London businesses agree that air connectivity is important to London's global competitiveness. Therefore the aviation sector must continue to grow whilst also moving towards a greener future as businesses transition to net zero.
