Cathay Pacific and Google have agreed to extend their artificial intelligence trial focused on minimizing aircraft contrail formation. The expanded trial is scheduled to start in September 2026.

Using AI to optimize flight parameters that influence contrail emissions, the initiative aims to reduce the environmental impact of aviation operations. This effort contributes to advancing sustainability within the airline industry.
