Sustainable Aviation Discussion Panel - bizav - are we ready - Stephan Krainer, Primus Aero

Second episode of our Sustainable aviation discussion panel is first step to acknowledge what it sustainability for business aviation. This time we had the pleasure to exchange with Stephan Krainer, the CEO of Primus Aero. Back in 2010 Primus Aero out of the belief that technical aircraft management can be done more cost-efficiently and to a higher quality standard by an independent provider.

Is business aviation ready for sustainable aviation? What issues must be solved? Watch and listen, agree, or disagree, you can always be a part of discussion.

Here are some most important points Stephan mentioned:

-  Sustainability in generals is a good thing, as it means it is still there in the future;

- in today’s operations it is very far from easy to be sustainable, its impossible;

- SAF – one of the ways to go sustainable – the planes are not yet certified;

- going sustainable – it is a vision. What we are missing – a roadmap.

- bizav needs the leverage from “big guys” – commercial aviation;

- chicken & egg situation SAF and aircraft flying on SAF;

- minimizing company’s carbon emissions in every possible way;

- hydrogen aircraft for business aviation – big problem is the energy’s density – I am not sure if I want to be on a hydrogen powered aircraft;

- electrical aircraft, eVTOL – the idea behind is good, but…

- sustainability in bizav today is not financially sustainable – it is still sponsored by people who wants that;

- bad reputation of business aviation is something that should be worked on;

- business aviation needs to lead the innovation and development;
