The International Air Transport Association (IATA) commits to achieving "net zero carbon emissions" by 2050, a colossal task amidst projections of 10 billion annual flights.
Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) are identified as the leading solution, expected to contribute 65% to emission reductions, but require a massive 10,000% increase in current production and face high costs.
The industry also plans to leverage new aircraft technologies (13% reduction) and carbon capture/emissions trading (19% reduction), with an estimated investment of $1.55 trillion to meet this ambitious goal.
