Pegasus Airlines CEO Güliz Öztürk has urged the aviation industry to work together to achieve net zero 2050 targets.
Speaking at last week’s World Aviation Festival in Lisbon, Ms Öztürk said: “To meet our Net Zero 2050 target, we need to find the means for SAF production, provide the right incentives and pursue industry-wide collaboration. With the right production capabilities and incentives, the aviation industry will find a way to achieve its net zero goals.”
“Sustainability and diversity are not challenges we can ignore. We need to set bold targets and be passionate in upholding them…for the planet and for future generations,” she said.
On the topic of diversity and inclusion, she said: “Having a variety of voices in our teams and being open to all sorts of distinctive ideas brings a different and enchanced satisfaction to teamwork. Inclusive leadership is the way forward.”
Onur Dedeköylü, CCO of Pegasus Airlines, took part in aCCO panel exploring passenger behaviours after the post Covid boom and a discussion on AI/ML, digitalisation to enhance the customer experience and ancillary offerings: “In the post Pandemic era, we need to offer flexibility to passengers and look for different ways to make that happen. This extends to offering flight selection that best aligns with their budgetary preferences, loyalty programmes that best suit their lifestyle, and ancillary products. Offering our passengers variety, freedom, and flexibility is key.”
