Setting aside the oxymoron of an "environmentally sustainable airline", is there anything more unsustainable in aviation than an "All You Can Fly" deal?
Some things I don't know and would like to know:
1. What is the life expectancy of current generation photovoltaic #solarpower panels?
2. What is the physical process which causes degradation?
3. At the end of economic life, could they be refurbished for reuse, and if not, why not?
4. If they cannot be refurbished, what proportion of the components can be recycled?

Reuters: COPENHAGEN/BRUSSELS (Reuters) -Around 2,300 people died of heat-related causes across 12 European cities during the severe heatwave that ended last week, according to a rapid scientific analysis published on Wednesday.
The study targeted the 10 days, ending July 2, during which large parts of Western Europe were hit by extreme heat, with temperatures breaching 40 degrees Celsius (104°F) in Spain and wildfires breaking out in France.

Equitable Atmosphere Declaration
We, the undersigned, believe that:
1) All people must share equal rights and responsibilities to Earth’s atmosphere.
2) Failure to explicitly value atmospheric resources leads to overexploitation through accumulation of greenhouse gases; this failure is one of the root causes of climate change.
