Aviation industry targets massive carbon reduction goals.

Every single day, approximately 100,000 commercial flights crisscross our planet, burning millions of gallons of jet fuel and contributing roughly 2.5% of global carbon emissions. That might sound modest, but aviation’s environmental impact grows exponentially as middle-class populations worldwide gain access to air travel. Major airlines now face mounting pressure from governments, investors, and environmentally conscious travelers to dramatically reduce their carbon footprint. The industry has responded with ambitious efficiency targets and innovative technologies that could revolutionize how we fly.
