This will be a huge step forward if the aviation industry can pull it off
It's no secret that among the emissions from transportation, the aviation industry is a huge polluter and for the past few years many airlines have been trying to figure out a solution to decarbonise the industry.
So far the best proposals have mostly been focused on biofuels but now if short-haul flights can be reliably implemented on electric planes that should be a non-trivial chunk of daily flights becoming carbon free.
So far only +easyJet seems keen to implement it but I'm hoping this is the start of something much bigger.
