Five industry associations have joined forces to propose a plan for European aviation to reach net-zero carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 2050.
The
Destination 2050 – A Route to Net Zero European Aviation report outlines commitments that the region’s airlines, airports, aerospace manufacturers and air navigation service providers are willing to make towards that goal.
“Crucially, we now need policy-makers and regulators to align with us,” stated ACI Europe director general Olivier Jankovic during a briefing today.
The report’s proposals cover four key areas: aircraft and engine technologies; sustainable aviation fuels; economic measures; and air traffic management (ATM) and aircraft operations.
