The global representative body of the airline industry, the International Air Transport Association (Iata), has welcomed decarbonisation commitments made by countries at the COP26 climate summit, held in Glasgow in the UK. The association also urged that aviation decarbonisation efforts be underpinned by government policies that were practical and effective. “Airlines are on the pathway to net-zero carbon emissions, in line with the Paris [climate] agreement,” highlighted Iata director-general Willie Walsh. “We all want the freedom to fly sustainably. Reaching net-zero emissions will be a huge task requiring the collective effort of industry and support from governments.”
