British Airways-owner IAG to cut emissions with sustainable aviation fuel target
British Airways-owner International Airlines Group committed to powering 10 per cent of its flights with sustainable aviation fuel by 2030, seeking to make progress towards its longer term goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
The group’s pledge comes on the same day as a US-led climate change summit hosted by US President Joe Biden, aimed at securing commitments from governments on cutting carbon emissions.
IAG said on Thursday that it plans to purchase one million tonnes of sustainable jet fuel each year by 2030, which will be the equivalent of removing one million cars from Europe’s roads each year.
