Google AI Targets Aviation Climate Impact With First-Ever Contrail Avoidance Trial Over North Atlantic

The UK government and Google are launching Operation Blue Skies, a £5 million trial to reduce climate-warming contrails over the North Atlantic. Using AI-generated forecasts, air traffic controllers will instruct planes to adjust altitude by up to 2,000 feet to avoid atmospheric conditions where contrails form. The trial targets Shanwick airspace, responsible for 5% of global contrail warming.
