Bringing Stakeholders Together to Address

Aviation's Environmental Challenges

Encouraging Solutions, Acknowledging Progress & Communicating Ideas

As the Lindberghs predicted, aviation continues to make inestimable contributions to the quality of all life.  And in the years since that most famous trans-Atlantic flight, the advance of technology has delivered tremendous progress  in addressing aviation’s environmental footprint.

Nonetheless, aviation — its industry, corporate operators, and individuals alike — is coming under intense governmental and media scrutiny.  The flying community has become a target in the debate over emissions, noise, efficiency and other environmental concerns.  It is imperative that we address such challenges with responsibility, care, and cooperation among all of aviation’s stakeholders.

The Lindbergh Foundation mission is to seek the balance between technology and the environment, a concept first advocated by Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh.  With a 30-plus year legacy of supporting such work, the Lindbergh Foundation is proud to lead the Aviation Green Alliance.  

Aviation Green Alliance welcomes all aviation-related companies and individuals committed to proactively addressing our shared concerns regarding aviation and the environment.  Under the banner of the Lindbergh Foundation, all members of the aviation community can join efforts in reducing aviation’s environmental footprint—a mission we all embrace.

As an independent not-for-profit organization, the Lindbergh Foundation offers its Members and supporters a “safe harbor” for addressing aviation-environmental issues.  The progress, education, and understanding gained through an affiliation with the Aviation Green Alliance will prove valuable to those representing aviation’s environmental interests to both the general public and governmental agencies.
