Air NZ ditches 2030 climate goal


Air NZ ditches 2030 climate goal

Wednesday, 31 Jul, 2024 0

Air New Zealand has formally abandoned its 2030 target to cut carbon emissions.

The flag carrier is the first major airline to do so.

It blames the problems of sourcing sustainable jet fuel and delays in getting more fuel-efficient planes.

The airline remains committed to cutting emissions and the overall goal of net zero emissions by 2050.

Air NZ will devise a new short term emissions target, it said.

“In recent months, and more so in the last few weeks, it has also become apparent that potential delays to our fleet renewal plan pose an additional risk to achievability,” Air New Zealand Chief Executive Officer, Greg Foran said.

In 2022, the airline had adopted a more ambitious target of cutting emissions.

New Zealand’s location and the size of the aviation market is also playing a part in the lack of viable sustainable aviation fuel development locally.

It has also been unable to procure enough from overseas
