JUNE 2025AEROSPACEDEFENSEREVIEW.COM6EditorialOnce defined by speed, connectivity, and engineering precision, the European aviation sector is now navigating a new altitude shaped by climate goals and environmental responsibility. Driven by the European Union's Green Deal and Fit for 55 initiatives, the industry faces increasing pressure to operate faster, more efficiently and sustainably. Amid this transformation, sustainable technologies such as ecopower wash solutions and strategic aviation consulting services are reshaping how the industry approaches performance and sustainability. Ecopower Wash Solutions offers advanced, eco-friendly aircraft cleaning systems that significantly reduce water usage, eliminate the need for harsh chemicals, and enhance fuel efficiency by minimising drag. Once seen as routine maintenance equipment, these systems have become integral to broader sustainability initiatives, offering measurable environmental benefits and cost savings. Simultaneously, aviation consultants are redefining their role in the industry. Shifting from operational advisors to strategic partners, they help airlines, MROs, and airports embed sustainable practices, navigate evolving regulatory demands, and access ESG-focused investment opportunities. With data generated from eco-technologies, consultants can craft credible sustainability roadmaps, while providers of green tech gain market traction and validation through consultancy-led implementation. The effects of this convergence are economic and environmental. It supports a greener, more competitive European aviation industry that attracts sustainability-driven investors, creates high-value green jobs, and enhances the region's global leadership in sustainable aviation solutions.In this edition, we feature companies that exemplify this transformation. One such company is Eco Jet Aviation, specialising in sustainable on-wing engine washing using its EcoPower system. Their solution reduces CO emissions and fuel consumption, extends engine life, and lowers maintenance costs--setting a new standard for eco-conscious operations. We also feature insights from leading industry experts, including Francesco Barba, Project Procurement Manager - Procurement Directorate, at OHB System AG and Candace Givens, Sector Vice President Mission Assurance at Northrop Grumman, who offers valuable perspectives on market trends and future opportunities. We hope that the valuable insights from industry leaders featured in this edition will assist you in making informed decisions for your business.Let us know your thoughts.Cleared for Green Takeoff: The Synergy Powering Europe's Eco-Aviation PushJonathan AllredManaging Editorjonathan@aerospacedefensereview.comBusiness and Technology solutions that drive A&D industryEUROPECopyright © 2025 ValleyMedia Inc., All rights reserved.
