About Us
Act local, think global, to save the planet one aircraft & one airport at a time.
We are innovators who have identified the need to contribute to solving the greatest crisis facing the aviation supply chain, namely climate change.
Over many decades we have transacted ~$3Bn in aircraft asset purchases, sales, leases and asset management. We have set-up airlines, owned and managed them. This has positioned us at the vanguard of green-clean aircraft innovation for more than a decade.
We close the loop on aircraft sustainability by decarbonizing end-of-life fleets based on adaptation in civil modes, recycling aircraft materials, carbon trading and R&D testing using aircraft platforms. Our sustainable “Value-creation Carbon Action Plan” (VCAP) which includes our “Climate Adaption Program,” our “Continuous Improvement Program” and “ESG service” which benefits society as people interconnect with air travel.
Major benefits of VCAP are lower remediation and climate-crisis costs & improved risk containment for clients.
VCAP CUTS REMEDIATION COSTS FOR CLIENTS
Shannon Aero’s strategy recognizes that what is happening to oil producers, auto manufacturers and Apple today is on the horizon for airlines, lessors and investment institutions.
We expect that between 2025 and 2028 but no later than 2030, strong legislation, backed up by robust regulatory enforcement of more complex emissions standards, will be added to current policies.
“The supply chain, impacted by climate change, must now navigate to a green business model to meet ICAO Net-Zero-emissions targets & Paris Agreement temperature stabilization goals”
Our programs give countries, airlines, the aviation supply chain, and investors cost savings, climate crisis solutions, market based mechanisms for carbon trading, fleet strategies, asset risk management, circular economy transition guidance, and support for class action and/or shareholder lawsuits.
We have been at the vanguard of green-clean aircraft innovation for more than a decade.
We close the loop on aircraft sustainability through end-of-life fleet strategies which remediate costs for our clients, based on decarbonization, recycling aircraft materials, carbon trading, our sustainable “Value-creation Carbon Action Plan” (VCAP) which includes our “Climate Adaption Program,” our “Continuous Improvement Program” and ESG service which benefits society as we interconnect with air travel.
SHANNON AERO'S CLIMATE CRISIS STRATEGY mitigates the risk of MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR future aircraft abandonment, stranding & BROWNING
Commercial aviation faces three pain points which will cost around $10Tn over two decades. More than 80% of the global aircraft fleet serves short to medium haul routes with aircraft powered by High Bypass Ratio (HBR) gas turbine engines in the 10-ton thrust class, each flying around 2,000 cycles per year.
The first pain point is the replacement of the Traditional-Technology aircraft generation fleet powered mainly by the CFM56 and V2500, built between 1988 and 2021. CFMI data shows that 45% of the 33,000 CFM56s built to date, powering more than 7,000 aircraft, are not yet due for their first shop visit! With a in-service life of around 40,000 cycles (based on three Engine Heavy Shop Visits (EHSV plus stub-life) each of these engines have an estimated remaining life of twelve years. The second point is renewal of the fleet with a projected 40,000 Advanced-Technology aircraft generation powered by LEAP & GTF gas turbine engines. The OEMs planned to scale up production to around 2,000 aircraft per year, building up to that output from 2016 and ending around 2035. To date deliveries have averaged 670 aircraft p.a. The third pain point is when the Advanced-Tech aircraft generation is replaced by the New-Technology generation of aircraft featuring new airframe geometries, fitted with SAF powered gas turbine, electric, hydrogen or hybrid powerplants. If the New-Tech fleet is to play a role in reaching the Net-zero emissions goal by 2050, the risk is that large numbers of CFM56, LEAP, GTF powered A320s and B737s will be abandoned or stranded.
Our core purpose
MISSION
To develop strategies and plans which mitigate the business transition damage occurring at the frontier of the climate-change crisis, where small mistakes made in the supply chain, disrupt decades of planning the process for aircraft decarbonization, resulting in unsustainable multi-billion-dollar costs.
To ensure that if aircraft fail to comply with decarbonization requirements, they will not be abandoned by airlines, lessors and investors, will not be stranded through regulatory enforcement and will not suffer browning arising from the traveling public experience with out of date aircraft technology, poor airline service, crowded aircraft and high travel costs.
“Save the planet, one aircraft and one airport at a time.”
GOAL
Our goal is to join with others in reversing the global temperature trend, executing on VCAP by entering alliances, joint ventures, sponsorships, partnerships, cooperation agreements and community benefits agreements with those airlines, banks, investment institutions, asset managers & lessors, hedge & private equity funds, OEMs, OEDs, Tier 1 suppliers & PMAs, R&D laboratories, logistics providers, civic and community organization that would like to share our mission of providing climate crisis solutions that are additive to the Paris Agreement, CORSIA, LTAG Net-Zero, nation state standards and targets, attenuate government agency laws & regulations, and to provide expert services for unforeseeable court decisions & Directive 2008/99/EC, the EU standard on the protection of the environment through criminal law.
OBJECTIVES
We want to implement VCAP, our “green-clean “ business strategy employing market-based mechanisms (MBM) servicing the green aviation supply chain.
We are looking for financial institutions who link their green investment programs with the segments most in need of green financing – regional airlines, airports and infrastructure businesses.
PROGRAMS & SOLUTIONS
Our VCAP offer aviation stakeholders programs and services enabling nation states, airlines, investment and asset managers to demonstrate they are not engaging in unsuitable investments, harmful to the climate or the beneficiaries of investment funds.
“One of Shannon Aero’s highest priorities is to assist greening financial institutions, emerging nation states, those threatened by earth-warming & damaging weather conditions, such as communities, regional airlines, airports and infrastructure facilities.”
SASI IS FOCUSED ON THREE AIRLINE DRIVERS
SUSTAINABLE AVIATION FUEL EFFICIENCY BECAUSE IT IS KEY TO REDUCING AIR POLLUTION
UPSKILLING BECAUSE IT IS A LONGER-TERM INVESTMENT BOOSTING SUPPLY CHAIN KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND COMPETENCIES
AIRCRAFT CARE AND MAINTENANCE BECAUSE, IN ADDITION TO SAFETY, IT IS A KEY CIRCULAR ECONOMY greening PROCESS
VCAP
Value-Creation Carbon Action Plan
A successfully green economy requires a sustainable global air travel network, which is well understood, but the opinions of a broader constituency must be accommodated including, the travelling public, communities, civil society groups, the Environmental Movement, Investment Institutions managing around $50TN in assets, legislators, and regulators. The two programs in VCAP are designed to win their support.
CORSIA MANDATORY 2028. WHAT is NEXT?
The climate-crisis risk for investors is that if emissions and noise standards are introduced in the mid-2020s to the early 2030s, that are higher than CORSIA/LTAG through treaty revisions, national legislation and stricter regulatory enforcement, many A320s, B737s, CFM56s, GTFs, LEAP and V2500 engines could be abandoned or stranded. This would be an environmental and economic disaster which VCAP addresses.
ill-informed claims are damaging airline revenues IN 2 MAJOR MARKETS, THE EU & NORTH AMERICA, & ARE gaining hold IN Others
Advocates for low emissions aircraft need to know:
Greenhouse gas emissions per RPK have halved because of technology and operational gains since the 1990s.
The aircraft market outlook is recovering as COVID fades and Climate Change strategies move forward.
RPKs are expected to grow from ~10 trillion today to ~20 trillion in 20 years.
B737 purchased by SASI from Japanese lessor & decarbonized to the level of 99%
SHANNON AERO’S Vcap STRATEGY COUNTERS THE CHARGE THAT AIRLINES ARE DOING NOTHING ABOUT AGED, ABANDONED, STRANDED, BROWNING AIRCRAFT.
We make the case to governments, investment institutions, legislators, regulators and communities that aircraft should not be abandoned, stranded or be the subject of browning. We explain why & how with VCAP and supporting programs. Around 20,000 aircraft flying the skies today will be out of service by the 2040s but not all will be out of life.
Airline customers already feel negatively about customer service, aircraft noise & air pollution. The Environmental Movement & Investment Institutions have plans to legislate and regulate aircraft GHG emissions. The US DOT and DOJ are against more airline consolidation. Starting today the aviation industry must consistently communicate with a global market demanding a green and clean earth.
