The adoption of CORSIA, a plan to reduce emissions globally based on an agreed set of goals, is the first by any industry and a major coup for the aviation industry, as it looks to avoid a complex of patchwork rules en route to achieving the target of carbon neutral growth. We investigate the plan ahead of its 2020 deadline.

We also take a closer look at landlocked countries where trade and travel is overwhelmingly done by air transport, find out more about two pilot waste to fuel projects, one of which is led by Velocys, which is working with the UK Government to build a plant that converts rubbish into fuel, and report on the problem of human trafficking at airports and the measures needed to eradicate it.
Finally, we consider the thorny issue of passenger blacklisting and whether any one body can be judged independent enough to vet passengers on national or international routes, and examine the remaining unserved air routes after extensive route expansion in the past decade has left few unexplored destinations remaining on the market.

We take a closer look at this security concept.
We also profile Doncaster Sheffield Airport as it looks to double passenger numbers, find out how airports are being incorporated as essential elements of modern cities, and explore the best airport art of 2017.
