Cathay Pacific and Google expanded their artificial intelligence trial in September 2026 to further address the formation of aircraft contrails, which contribute to climate warming. The project builds on their ongoing collaboration to apply AI-driven solutions in aviation.
Using data-based adjustments to flight paths, the trial aims to optimize operations in a way that reduces contrail formation during flights. This initiative reflects a joint effort by Cathay Pacific and Google to lower aviation’s impact on the environment through advanced technology.
