TSFC aims to bring some of the aviation industry together through friendly competition. TSFC is inspired by the great London to Melbourne aviation race of 1934, which generated many innovations and changes to international travel. Similarly, TSFC is about which airline can operate the most sustainable flight or generate the most significant innovation to further reduce aviation’s impact on the environment. Participating airlines will be judged across 14 categories by an international and diverse panel of judges.
