Diamondo Earthrounding to conclude green mission
When Matthias Niederhäuser and Robin Wenger, two Swiss pilots, land this morning, 22 April 2022, at Zurich airport (expected at 11:20 h local time), arriving from Frankfurt, they will have achieved a circumnavigation with net-zero carbon emissions through green initiatives and technologies, mainly using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Diamondo Earthrounding, a non-profit initiative, driven by a team of nine young aviators, left Zurich in a Diamond DA50 RG 5-seater aircraft on 2 January.
Flying eastbound to visit 73 airports, cities and sustainable initiatives in 35 countries, the pilots’ mission was to connect worldwide projects for sustainable aviation, raise awareness of sustainable technologies, explain how use them and help accelerate aviation’s path to net-zero carbon emissions.
