Industry Needs Governments To Support Its Environmental Agenda

摘要

Now that the International Air Transport Association (IATA) has committed to net-zero emissions by 2050, the real work needs to commence in order to meet that goal. A key element for the organization in realizing its ambitions is a high level of engagement from various governments to support sustainability targets, and that assistance needs to materialize soon. In Latin America, many airlines ranging from larger full-service carriers to hybrid operators and ultra-low-cost carriers (ULCC) have communicated their sustainability plans and initiatives, Peter Cerda, IATA regional vice president for the Americas, told Aviation Week at the association's recent annual general meeting in Boston. "There's a strong commitment by the airlines in Latin America and the Caribbean to move forward."
