High costs and limited availability hinder green transition efforts.
The airline industry is facing significant challenges in its transition to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), as highlighted by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). The high costs associated with SAF and its limited supply are major barriers to achieving greener operations.
Despite the industry’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions, the current market conditions for SAF are not conducive to widespread adoption. Airlines are calling for increased investment and support to enhance the availability of these fuels.
The IATA report emphasizes the urgent need for collaborative efforts among stakeholders to address these challenges and accelerate the transition towards more sustainable aviation practices.
Key Points
- IATA reports high costs and limited supply of SAF.
- The green transition in aviation is stalling.
- Airlines seek increased investment for SAF availability.
