Cathay Pacific and Google will broaden their artificial intelligence trials aimed at reducing aircraft contrails effective September 2026. The expansion follows initial trials focused on minimizing contrail formation during flights.

The AI initiatives are part of efforts to lower the climate impact of aviation by cutting climate-warming contrails produced by aircraft. This represents a targeted climate mitigation approach by the involved companies.
