Two years ago, the Air Transport Action Group (ATAG), of which GE Aerospace is a member, set an ambitious goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050. To gauge the progress the industry has made toward that target, GE Aerospace this summer commissioned a survey of 325 aviation decision makers in the U.S., the U.K., China, India, the UAE, and France.
Today, Dubai-based Emirates became the first airline to operate an Airbus A380, the world’s largest passenger airliner, using 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in one of its engines.
