envisa – The new era of airport hubs?
February 2021
As a consequence of the travel restrictions imposed on fights due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, airlines have reduced their capacity offers and grounded part of their fleet, particularly the big quads such as B747 and A380. These aircraft being mainly operated to connect hub congested airports, the hub-and-spoke system seems to be over, to the benefit of more point-to-point flights. So how can one envisage a new era for airport hubs?

CO2Reuse Summit in Berlin
On May 8-9, 2019
On May 8-9, 2019, Philippe Fonta was invited to play a key role in the latest CO2Reuse Summit in Berlin. Convening numerous stakeholders from différent industries and associations worldwide, CO2 Reuse Summit aimed at exploring solutions for carbon dioxide utilization. As science now demonstrates, CO2 can be treated as a feedstock, rather than a waste, and get a value for various industries that need and will still need carbon in the future.
Philippe delivered one of the keynote introductory speeches, advocating for the development of a New International Carbon Economy (NICE) through which carbon would be sourced from captured CO2 and progressively no longer from fossil fuels…
In addition, Philippe moderated the concluding panel of Day 1, with distinguished experts from various horizons.
Finally, he was invited to chair the second day of debates, introducing the various speakers, making the link between them and delivering some wrap-up comments at the end of the day.
A very fruitful forum with identified opportunities to scaling up CO2reuse and thus reduce the overall CO2 emissions contributing to climate change
