Major airlines commit to net-zero emissions

A group of 13 major airlines, including British Airways, American Airlines and Cathay Pacific, has committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Members of the Oneworld alliance of airlines will develop their own approaches, such as delivering carbon offsets and investing in sustainable aviation fuels and more fuel-efficient aircraft.

“Despite the challenges we are all facing amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, we have not lost sight of the responsibility we have to reduce emissions in the long term, said Oneworld chairman Alan Joyce.
