2 Global context of Aerospace Industry 705 millions tonnes 3,1 billion 58,1 million 3.5 X Worldwide, flights produced 705 million tonnes of CO2 in Globally, humans produced over 36 billion tonnes of CO2. In 2013, over 3 billion passengers were carried by the world's airlines. Over 58 million people are employed worldwide in aviation and related tourism. Of this, 8.7 million people work directly in the aviation industry. Worldwide, the amount contributed to the global economy by aviation jobs is roughly three and a half times higher than that contributed by other jobs. * Source : (consulted September 29, 2015) 2

3 Global context of Aerospace Industry 1,397 airlines operate a fleet of 25,000 aircraft serving 3,864 airports through a route network of several million kms managed by 173 air navigation service providers. The aviation industry consumes around 1,5 billion barrels of Jet A-1 fuel annually 3 liters The new Airbus A380, Boeing 787, ATR-600 and Bombardier CSeries aircraft use less than 3 liters of jet fuel per 100 passenger kilometers. This matches the efficiency of most modern compact cars. * Source : (consulted September 29, 2015) 3

4 Aerospace Industry environmental Targets by ATAG We will improve our fleet fuel efficiency by 1.5% per annum between now and From 2020, net carbon emissions from aviation will be capped through carbon neutral growth. By net aviation carbon emissions will be half of what they were in 2005 * Source : (consulted September 29, 2015) 4
