IATA partners with Cambridge University’s Aviation Impact Accelerator
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has joined hands with Aviation Impact Accelerator (AIA) based at the University of Cambridge.
They announced a collaboration to ease the aviation sector’s transition to net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050.
IATA will tap AIA to assess the financial implications of reaching aviation’s 2050 net-zero goal.
The collaboration will support scenario-based tools to help airlines analyse and evaluate different pathways to decarbonisation.
The purpose is to support better-informed decisions by airlines and aviation policy-makers in the net-zero transition.
AIA is an international group of experts with a broad range of expertise.
It will develop evidence-based tools to map pathways towards sustainable flight.
Over the past three years, AIA has developed system modelling capability.
“We are excited to launch this new collaboration, investigating realistic pathways for aviation’s transition to net zero,” said Prof. Rob Miller, AIA lead.
“We believe with IATA and AIA’s unique modelling capability, we have an opportunity to unlock change.”
As part of future collaboration, they will collaborate on the development of IATA’s Recommended Practice Per-Passenger CO2 Calculation Methodology.
This improves transparency in understanding the carbon footprint from flying.
