Air New Zealand Abandons 2030 Carbon Emission Goals

Lagging Aircraft Production and Fuel Shortages Cited

Air New Zealand has announced the abandonment of its 2030 carbon emission reduction targets, citing delays in the production of new aircraft and a lack of alternative fuels.

Key Points:

• Air New Zealand has withdrawn from its 2030 carbon emission reduction goals.
• The airline cites a lack of new fuel-efficient aircraft and alternative fuel as reasons for the withdrawal.
• The decision was made after a review of the airline's ability to meet its targets.

The airline's chief executive, Greg Foran, said in a statement that the decision was made after a review of the airline's ability to meet its targets.

Foran said that the airline was "committed to playing our part in reducing carbon emissions," but that the "current environment" made it "impossible" to meet the 2030 targets.

Air New Zealand's decision is a setback for the airline industry's efforts to reduce carbon emissions.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has set a goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

IATA's director general, Willie Walsh, said in a statement that Air New Zealand's decision was "disappointing" but that the airline industry remained "committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050."

Walsh said that the airline industry was "working hard" to develop new technologies and fuels that would allow it to meet its emissions reduction goals.

Air New Zealand's decision is a reminder of the challenges facing the airline industry in reducing carbon emissions.

The airline industry is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, and it is under increasing pressure to reduce its environmental impact.
