Contrail Avoidance in Practice
Everything airlines need to get started — gathered in one place, for the first time.
A small number of airlines have already run contrail avoidance trials. They've figured out how to set up governance, get internal buy-in, integrate contrail data into dispatch workflows, bring pilots and flight crews along, manage costs, and evaluate results. Most of that knowledge has never been shared before.
This free playbook brings it together — written by Joachim Majholm at Blue Lines, with kind support from Contrails.org, and based on interviews with airline sustainability leads, dispatchers, pilots, and contrail experts from consulting and technology. Reviewed by specialists from Transport & Environment, the International Council on Clean Transportation, and Green Transition Denmark.
