Industry Faces Challenges In Meeting Climate Ambitions Due To Supply Chain Issues

The aviation industry’s goal to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 is facing significant challenges due to aircraft delivery delays. The delays, caused by supply chain constraints and engine shortages, are slowing down fleet renewal efforts, making it difficult for airlines to reduce their emissions. According to IATA, the industry’s progress towards its climate ambitions is being hindered by these delays, as well as the slow development of sustainable aviation fuels.
