AAPA airlines double down on net zero carbon pledge
Following the 65th Assembly of Presidents of the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines, Asia airlines.reaffirmed their joint goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
This will come through ‘energy transition, innovation in technology, and carbon offsetting’ based on ICAO’s Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA).
AAPA pledges to work with governments, airports, fuel suppliers and equipment manufacturers to meet these i sustainability goals.
"We further pledge to progressively reduce the use of fossil fuels in favour of a greater use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). We acknowledge that the commercialization of SAF can only be achieved with the support of all stakeholders in the aviation ecosystem."
As international air travel gradually resumes, AAPA calls for harmonisation of border policies and health protocols based on ICAO and WHO guidelines, with simplified measures related to testing, vaccination status, and digital verification.
"We support an inclusive approach towards international air travel that allows for vaccinated, recovered and non-vaccinated passengers to travel. These will greatly reduce complexity and confusion for travellers," it said.
