Monaco Aeronauts Club Embarks on Eco-Friendly Flight Over Armenia

The Monaco Aeronauts Club recently demonstrated its commitment to sustainable aviation by flying its biogas-powered hot air balloon over Armenia, including the historic capital, Yerevan. This initiative underlines Monaco's dedication to reducing environmental impacts in aviation, with the balloon featuring a double envelope design to minimize heat loss and utilizing biogas, slashing CO2 emissions by 50 percent over the last decade.

During the flights, which took off from various locations such as Aparan, Garni, and Yerevan itself, the pilots showcased how Monaco's innovative approach to ecological challenges extends beyond its borders. The use of biogas, derived from organic waste, highlights a significant reduction in carbon emissions by 85-95% compared to conventional fossil fuels, aligning with Monaco's environmental strategy.

This venture not only promotes the beauty of Armenia's landscapes but also emphasizes the Principality of Monaco's role as a frontrunner in sustainable aviation practices. Through such initiatives, the Monaco Aeronauts Club aims to inspire broader adoption of green technologies in aviation, reflecting Monaco's ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship and responsible exploration.
