LATAM announces alliance for the conservation of 575,000 hectares of savannah and forests

LATAM has announced a new alliance with the Cataruben Foundation in CO2Bio, a project for the conservation and restoration of floodable savannah and forests in South America. Located in the Colombian Orinoquía, the project expects,  to capture 11.3 million tonnes of CO2 by 2030 in a 575,000-hectare property of savannah and forests.

The Colombian Orinoquía project has the support of the Natural Wealth Program of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and will benefit 700 families in the area along with helping biodiversity, water regulation and carbon capture.


London City applies to increase capacity cap and Saturday operations

London City airport has formally submitted a planning application to the London Borough of Newham for an increase in its annual passenger cap from 6.5 to 9 million by 2031.

The airport also wants to extend its Saturday operations until 1830, with an additional hour during the summer for arrivals only – noise restrictions mean LCY currently has to close between 1300 on Saturday and 1230 on Sunday.  The application follows feedback from a ten-week consultation on the plans over the summer, which received over 5,000 responses.
