           the UAE's prominent contributions in this context, as it strengthens and drives the

           transformation toward more sustainable aviation worldwide."

           activities and fields of scientific research and innovation, and honouring individuals

           and institutions that contribute to the development of sustainable aviation fuel

           horizons of international collaboration in aviation, supporting our joint efforts

           toward achieving a more sustainable and safer world."
