The member carriers of Airlines for America (A4A) have collectively committed to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
The move is a significant step for the organization, going well beyond the commitments that U.S. government and the airline industry globally have made to reduce emissions by 50% of 2005 levels by 2050.
A4A members also pledged to work with the government, producers and other stakeholders toward a goal of making 2 billion gallons of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) available to U.S. aircraft operators by 2030.
