Tim McGraw, Director of Environmental and Safety at Northwest Airlines, presented on the aviation industry's response to climate change. He discussed how aircraft emissions contribute to both local air quality and global climate change issues. While the industry aims to achieve a 1% annual reduction in fuel burn per passenger, overall emissions are growing due to increased air traffic. Northwest Airlines has implemented an eight-point environmental strategy focused on reducing their environmental impact through fleet upgrades, operational efficiencies, partnerships, and other initiatives.
