As the world's busiest international airport with around 65 million passengers passing through every year, this is a big task. And with over 76,500 people working for over 320 very different companies at Heathrow, a coordinated effort is essential.

From the construction firms that build Heathrow, to the airlines that fly from here and everyone in between, those in the partnership will be jointly committed to improving the sustainability of their business at Heathrow.

Sustainable Aviation is a long term strategy which sets out the collective approach of UK aviation to tackling the challenge of ensuring a sustainable future for our industry. 

A world-first, Sustainable Aviation was launched in 2005 and brings together the main players from UK airlines, airports, manufacturers and ATM providers which includes bmi.

Since its launch, the number of signatories continues to grow and Sustainable Aviation now speak for over 90 per cent of UK airlines, airports and air navigation service providers, as well as all major UK aerospace manufacturers.

What is the real impact of the aviation industry on the environment? How is the industry working to reduce that impact? And what else can our industry and policy makers do?

Enviro.aero is your resource for answering these questions, and more. This site was produced by the Geneva-based Air Transport Action Group (ATAG), which is the only global association representing all sectors of the air transport industry.

ATAG’s members include airports, airlines, airframe and engine manufacturers, air navigation service providers, airline pilot and air traffic controller unions, chambers of commerce, tourism and trade partners, ground transportation and communications providers.

AEA - the Association of European Airlines - brings together 36 major airlines including bmi, and has been the trusted voice of the European airline industry for over 50 years.

AEA recognises that the airline industry must take responsibility for its environmental impacts and drive a balance between these and the social and economic benefits it provides.

BATA is the trade association for UK-registered airlines including bmi. Our members cover a wide range of airline services, carry more than 86 million passengers, 1 million tonnes of cargo and produce over 80% of UK airline output.

The industry's sustainable development objective is to meet the challenges set by the environmental impacts of the industry whilst maintaining the undoubted economic and social benefits of air travel. For more information, you can read the BATA environmental policy by clicking here.
