Roughly 43,000 aircraft move through US airspace every day. Among them, those piloted under the broad segment of general aviation support $247 billion in economic impact each year, and 1.2 million jobs. By 2035, economic gain within a new genre of flight known as advanced air mobility (AAM) is expected to reach $115 billion per year in the US and create 280,000 high-paying jobs there. Also, by 2035—or 2050, depending on the entities involved—companies around the world expect to reach net-zero carbon emissions. Boeing, for one, pledges to ensure all its commercial aircraft will be ready for sustainable aviation fuel by 2030.
General Aviation Investments in SAF, AAM Pay Off Locally
Key Takeaways:
- The aviation sector, encompassing general aviation and the emerging Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), drives significant economic impact and is projected to create substantial new jobs and economic growth by 2035.
- Achieving net-zero carbon emissions is a key industry goal, with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and electric aircraft identified as critical technologies for decarbonization, noise reduction, and operational efficiency.
- A roundtable of state and local leaders highlighted diverse regional initiatives and the need for collaboration, policy support, and workforce development to advance sustainable aviation and AAM across the United States.
