Gulf Air chief executive officer and chairman of the 2011 World Economic Forum Community for Aviation, Travel and Tourism, Samer Majali has returned from the World Economic Forum in Africa, where he attended key panel sessions on aviation, tourism and logistics industries.

Mr Majali was a member of the panel that released a white paper on the Policies and Colla-borative Partnership for Sustainable Aviation.

The report sets out a clear agenda for the aviation industry to reach the ambitious goals it has aspired to, that is, achieving carbon-neutral growth from 2020 onwards and 50 per cent net carbon reduction by 2050 compared to 2005 levels.

"The aviation industry is a pioneer in its commitment to decarbonise and has been working on several initiatives in recent years," he said.

"The white paper that contains a well-pronounced framework for further action," he added.
