Cathay and Google expand AI trials to curb contrails on ultra-long-haul flights
x/google
— Sep 7, 2026
Cathay Pacific and Google are expanding AI-powered trials to predict contrail formation and adjust flight paths, aiming to reduce the aviation sector’s climate impact by enabling altitude or route changes on ultra-long-haul and other routes across the Asia-Pacific region. The program, which involves real-world operational data and partnerships with NGOs, seeks to broaden understanding of contrail avoidance and scale sustainable practices across Cathay’s global network.

Nice to see an airline actually testing this in real operations instead of just modeling it on paper. Contrails are a bigger warming factor than people realize.
