US EditionKey climate target of airline decarbonisation 'in peril': IATA
- In 2025, the International Air Transport Association cautioned that the airline sector's target to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by the middle of the century is now at risk.
- This risk arises from climate-sceptic policies under President Trump supporting fossil fuel development, despite Biden's support for renewable aviation fuels.
- The air transportation industry is responsible for approximately 2.5 to 3 percent of global CO2 emissions and depends on Sustainable Aviation Fuel , which currently costs several times more than conventional jet fuel.
- IATA projects that global SAF output will increase twofold in 2025, reaching 2.5 billion litres, which still accounts for just 0.7 percent of the total aviation fuel demand; meanwhile, a $4.7 trillion investment is required to expand SAF capacity by 2050.
- Setbacks from cheap oil prices, fossil fuel subsidies of up to $1 trillion annually, and regulatory rollbacks imperil reaching the 2050 target despite available technology and investment potential.

At its general meeting in Delhi, India, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) provided an update on its promised decarbonization by 2050. The leading airline association maintained that the goal was within reach, but that it was "in jeopardy." This raises two issues.
IATA sounds alarm over aviation decarbonization targets
The airline industry’s ambition to move to zero emissions by 2050 is in jeopardy. This was stated by IATA, the global airline umbrella organization, at a summit in New Delhi, India, to discuss the state of the industry. The aviation sector currently produces approximately 3% of global CO2 emissions; however, due to climate-skeptic policies, including those of U.S. President Donald Trump, it will be challenging to meet decarbonization targets, IA…
