Sustainable aviation
The transition to more sustainable aviation is creating new opportunities across the industry, from low-emission propulsion technologies such as electricity and hydrogen for smaller aircraft to the growing use of Sustainable Aviation Fuels. At the same time, it is bringing new obligations for airlines, including increasingly complex reporting requirements, evolving regulations and the need to plan and demonstrate credible emissions reductions.
GH Aviation Consulting supports aircraft manufacturers, airports and operators in navigating this changing landscape. Drawing on our aviation expertise and connections with key industry stakeholders, we assess emerging technologies, develop effective decarbonisation strategies and identify practical actions that can be implemented within this decade. For small and medium-sized airlines, we also provide a dedicated Airline Sustainability Office, managing their ongoing sustainability activities as an outsourced function.
Outsourced Airline Sustainability Office
Small and medium-sized airlines face increasingly complex sustainability requirements but may not have the resources—or the need—to build a complete in-house sustainability department.
GH Aviation Consulting provides a dedicated Airline Sustainability Office, scaled to the needs of your airline and supported by specialist aviation expertise. We manage your sustainability reporting obligations, regulatory monitoring, SAF and CORSIA sourcing, stakeholder communications and decarbonisation strategy.
All the sustainability expertise your airline needs, in one place.

Decarbonization strategy
GH Aviation Consulting helps airlines and airports develop ESG strategies to become more sustainable. Our support ranges from setting up emission monitoring programs for CORSIA or ETS obligations to designing and implementing measures to reduce emissions in line with the exposure of the airline to regulations. This involves optimizing current operations for better fuel efficiency, developing a SAF strategy, and potentially introducing lower-emission aircraft.
Fuel efficiency
Fuel efficiency is essential for reducing carbon emissions and operational costs. At GH Aviation Consulting, we collaborate with industry leaders to create advanced, data-driven methods that pinpoint and quantify fuel-saving opportunities. Our extensive experience with global carriers shows that effective fuel efficiency combines data analytics with human-focused change management. With deep airline operations expertise, we build strong business cases for solutions and manage organizational change to ensure smooth adoption by your teams.
SAF production feasability
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is crucial for achieving net zero by 2050, requiring exponential growth in production. This involves developing regional production units using local resources. GH Aviation Consulting offers feasibility studies for SAF production, analyzing demand, comparing production techniques, and assessing investment, operating costs, and ROI.
Electric aviation
Several technologies based on electric engines are on the market today: full electric, hydrogen, hybrid, eVTOLs, eCTOLs, eSTOLs,… GH Aviation Consulting have developed a unique and thorough knowledge of upcoming electric aircraft. We provide insights to the aviation stakeholders to help them identify the most credible technologies and projects and their potentials.
Airport energy infrastructure
Sustainable aviation faces significant challenges, particularly in airport infrastructure. Airports must provide Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), electric chargers, hydrogen stations, Ground Power Units (GPUs), and Air Conditioning Units (ACUs). Upgrading these infrastructures often takes years and requires a strategic approach. This strategy ensures smooth transitions and attracts new operators. GH Aviation Consulting specializes in pre-sizing airport energy infrastructures, preparing airports for future demands.
