Frederic Leger, senior VP for commercial products & services of IATA said “The industry is going to do everything possible to meet that goal, which is something that everybody is looking forward to. And so the investment will be made on all fronts to make sure that we are getting there because it’s the survival of the planet and the industry,”
IATA is reportedly also working with aircraft manufacturers to find ways to have engines that consume less fuel and be cleaner including testing hydrogen alternatives to achieve the net-zero targets.
With CO2 Connect, IATA aims to give CO2 data transparency linked to airline-specific and actual fuel burn information. IATA revealed that CO2 Connect is available to companies within and outside the travel value chain, such as travel management companies, travel agencies, airlines or multinational corporations. Leger added that IATA is working collectively with everybody to make rules and regulations that could bring the travel and tourism industry back to pre-pandemic levels.
