Antonia S. Richter
Member, Board of Directors at Large.
Ms. Richter, a long-standing supporter of sustainability in civil aviation, is responsible for IASA membership management since January 2023.
Aims
Members of the International Association for Sustainable Aviation are convinced that the key to aviation prosperity is the comprehensive sustainability methodology. Sustainable aviation is economically stabile, minimizes environmental impacts and examplory for its personnel and society partners.
Top priority on the IASA target agenda are the implementation and propagation of CO2-limited and climate change compatible aviation fuels, as well as alternative power trains for aviation.
IASA assists the public discussion on current and important aviation subject matters by providing professional factual and pertaining information. IASA focuses on holistic efforts towards sustainability improvements in aviation. Aviation sustainability needs sustainable aircraft, sustainable infrastructure, and sustainable processes on the ground and in the air. IASA supports constructive collaboration of all parties in academia, industry, aviation business, politics, associations and media. IASA provides interdisciplinary, current and practical information and networking. IASA internally and externally presents the economical, ecological and social achievements of aviation.
Sustainability and aviation, a contradiction?
No, quite the contrary. Sustainability is the key to the further successful development of global aviation.
Sustainability saves costs and increases profits. Sustainability reconciles aviation with the environment. Sustainability takes the people involved into the future.
The IASA experts have gathered valuable information and insights from all areas of aviation. Its members share the belief that sustainable structures and sustainable organizations will be the entrepreneurial vision of the 21st century.
