It is her aim to be an advocate within the industry for sustainable practices to reduce emissions and environmental impact. Siân is passionate about caring for the environment and in her spare time is a Climate Justice campaigner and jointly leads her local Eco Church group.

She believes that aviation’s current trajectory is not sustainable, and immediate change is needed, starting with increased regulation in support of genuine reduction of the industry’s climate impact.

“Those that have done the least to cause the climate crisis are the people who are already suffering its effects the most.”

“I don’t want to stand by as the industry says positive things about future technological solutions which are as yet unproven, and still decades away from full deployment, whilst actively increasing emissions with more and more flights.” 

"It has been uplifting to be a member of Safe Landing, as it has brought me together with a community of others who are equally enthusiastic about mitigating aircraft climate impact. For the past few years I have been attending their events, reading their articles and partaking in workshops. All of which have kept me motivated on my research path and ensured me that there are so many others out there striving for a better world."

"I would like to see aviation workers' assemblies for the good of our planet earth and the safety of the aviation workers in Africa and Uganda Civila Aviation Authority."

Once a celebrated actor and musician, she now channels her experiences, including overcoming a significant disability, into transformative coaching. Specialising in leadership presence and team dynamics, she tackles challenges like silent quitting and diversity with practical, effective solutions. Her unique approach, blending personal triumph with professional expertise, inspires leaders and teams to embrace change, communicate effectively, and harness diverse talents.

Her commitment to sustainability aligns with her passion for positive change, creating a harmonious balance between her executive coaching career and environmental advocacy. Through compelling keynotes and workshops, Charlotte not only motivates but also equips organisations with the tools for tangible improvements in leadership effectiveness, team cohesion, and inclusive practices. She stands as an invaluable asset in today's dynamic business environment, leaving a lasting impact on both individuals and conversations about the future ecological security of the planet.

Unfortunately years of experience working in this industry opened her eyes to the increasing overall level of pollution it emits as a whole. As an African, she understood the indirect relation between the airline industry’s enormous carbon footprint and the climate disasters affecting Africans right now, from the climate driven famine in Southern Madagascar for the past five years, to the locust infestation in Kenya in 2020 that was the worst case in 70 years, a tragedy that decimated crops, displaced and destroyed livelihoods of her people, just to name a few. 

This realisation negatively affected her as she battled with the choice between leaving a career she had grown to love that gave her the opportunity to see her family in Kenya or continue to be complicit with the destruction of our earth in order to enjoy the privilege of air travel. 

Njigina’s passion for the environment and her understanding of the climate catastrophes happening in her homeland led her to searching for other like-minded individuals in the airline industry and this is how she found Safe Landing. Safe landing has given her an opportunity to be a part of a group of people who believe that change is possible in the airline industry towards a more sustainable way of travel. 

For Njigina, Safe Landing has been a place of support especially with eco-anxiety, a struggle that affects many in the airline industry. As the climate emergency and its disasters increase and airline crew continue to travel to places that are overcoming war, drought and pandemics they witness first hand what these people are undergoing and this has detrimental effects to their mental health. Safe Landing is a place where they can get non-judgemental support from peers who understand and have experienced their fears. 

Njigina is now more grounded and working towards giving back to her community. She now works with young people as a mentor in the hopes of helping build a more resilient, inclusive, diverse society filled with love and respect for our planet and one another. She is also studying to be a qualified counsellor for young people in the future.

His decision came 10 years into what was expected to be a 40 year career and was certainly not due to a lack of passion for aviation. Dan is the third generation of pilots in his family and has wanted to fly since his earliest memories. Like so many, he worked hard, at great financial expense to qualify and overcame various setbacks before securing what he imagined would be a dream job.

Despite all of this, as a father now, Dan could no longer face the conflict between his love of flying and his deep wish for the future habitability of the planet that we (and so many other species) call home. When he managed to tackle the barriers of cognitive bias and dissonance, Dan was able to join the dots and it was very clear that the only way to live in accordance with his values was to take meaningful action and compassionately try to help others to join the dots for themselves.

Dan is proud to be a member of Safe Landing and passionately believes that we require systemic change within the industry for a truly sustainable future, both for the habitability of our planet and for the livelihoods of workers.

Jeff first became worried about climate after attending a 350.org “Do the Math Tour” in 2012.  Not wanting to believe the science and predictions he heard, Jeff spent the next year researching climate while becoming increasingly concerned.  Fortunately he found deep ecologist and Buddhist teacher Joanna Macy’s book, “Active Hope” which helped lead Jeff out of despair and into action where he’s been working ever since. 

“There are several things I really appreciate about Safe Landing. Aviation is a really difficult industry to de-carbonize.  That alone means employees can be resistant to climate solutions, fearing the impact on their industry.  Safe Landing thinks it’s important that employees have factual information about climate and the impact on the airline industry.  They also deserve transparency from their employer and participation in how it addresses climate. If the actions affect the workforce,  employees should know about and have some input on those actions.”  

As an airline bankruptcy survivor, Jeff believes it’s critical that employees have a voice in their future. Safe Landing is an organisation that advocates for vital employee participation in a climate-imperilled aviation industry transformation.
