With #hydrogen increasingly seen as a crucial enabler, the question turns towards when we can expect to see commercial routes in operation powered by the fuel.

In this session, several industry experts discuss the adoption timeline, including milestones that must be achieved and potential roadblocks developers face to certify hydrogen-electric, zero-emission engines and launch operations.

Panelists also detail what factors can determine the speed of the transition and the levers that can be pulled. Finally, speakers address what benefits adopting zero-emission flights provides beyond emissions reduction, including access to more flight routes and lower costs.
