NEW DELHI : The Singapore Airlines (SIA) Group has pledged to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050, the airline said in a statement on Tuesday.
The Group’s airlines, Singapore Airlines, Scoot and SIA Cargo, will use multiple levers to achieve this goal, which include investing in new-generation aircraft, achieving higher operational efficiency, adopting low-carbon technology such as sustainable aviation fuels, and sourcing for high quality carbon offsets, the company said.
“Today, the most effective and direct way for an airline to materially lower carbon emissions is by operating a young fleet of aircraft. The SIA Group’s fleet has an average age of under six years, making it one of the youngest in the world,” said Goh Choon Phong, chief executive officer of Singapore Airlines.
