Read the table before you chase your own plan
Strong players keep one eye on their airline and one eye on everybody else. You win more often when you spot who is falling behind before the whole room starts panicking.

Sustain-air-bility®
A facilitated net-zero aviation decision workshop
Give sustainability, operations, commercial, finance, and learning teams one shared challenge: get every airline to net zero by 2050 while pressure builds, incentives diverge, and every shortcut affects the table.


The goal
Everyone wins only if every airline reaches net zero by 2050. That one rule gives the game its bite. You are never just improving your own position. You are deciding whether your progress helps the group survive or makes the final stretch worse.
That is why new players get it fast. The objective is clear, the stakes are public, and the tension comes from human choices, not specialist knowledge.
One deadline. Four airlines. Zero room for lazy decisions.
How to win
Everyone can see whose turn might save or wreck the planThe countdown keeps the whole table honestEvery deck adds a new reason to talk, panic, or bargainThe board keeps the danger visible, so good players can act early, trade smartly, and stop problems becoming disasters.
Strong players keep one eye on their airline and one eye on everybody else. You win more often when you spot who is falling behind before the whole room starts panicking.
Not every powerful move is smart right now. The best turns come from timing, restraint, and knowing when a short-term gain will wreck the later game.
Negotiation is easier before someone is desperate. If you wait until the table is already on fire, every favour costs more and every promise feels suspicious.
The players who do best are the ones who know when to be selfish and when to keep the whole system alive. That balance is where the endgame is decided.
For aviation teams
Sustainability, operations, commercial, finance, and learning teams can explore the same deadline from different positions, then compare what shaped their decisions.
The workshop gives facilitators concrete moments to discuss timing, incentives, collaboration, and the cost of waiting without presenting the game as a prediction of real-world outcomes.
Run one browser-based session for a small team, gather structured feedback, and decide whether a wider facilitated programme fits your organisation.
For educators and facilitators
Sustain-air-bility lands because it turns a big idea into something social, readable, and memorable. Players leave with a better feel for trade-offs, timing, and shared responsibility because they just lived through them together.
