The boss of the world s busiest airport for international passengers has said Covid passports are the only way to restart mass foreign travel.
Dubai Airports chief executive Paul Griffiths told the BBC: I don t think there is an alternative.
Critics of the digital systems argue they discriminate against those who cannot get vaccinated.
But Mr Griffiths says he is a complete supporter of the documents, which he says are inevitable . I think the problem is not the vaccine passport and its discrimination. It s the need to roll things out and have a proper globally equitable vaccine programme, he said.
A practical discussion for airlines, airports, policymakers and investors. This webinar is for airlines who have experience with SAFs, and for the investment community who already invest or are looking to invest in SAFs.
Sustainable Aviation Fuels have a critical role to play in the decarbonization of aviation in coming decades, owing to their significantly lower lifecycle impact on global warming than conventional jet fuel.
Armed with a better understanding of the properties of SAFs, including the advantages and risks associated with each certified pathway, the financing methods available, the various supporting regulations, and the implications of potential future policy changes, airlines and investors should be better prepared to increase SAF usage and/or investment.
