Air New Zealand has become the first major airline to abandon its 2030 target for reducing carbon emissions.
The airline attributes this decision to challenges in obtaining new planes and sustainable aviation fuel, which are crucial for achieving their goals.
Delays in their fleet renewal plan have also contributed to this change, as they may need to keep their current fleet for longer than initially anticipated.
While the airline industry aims for net zero emissions by 2050, Air New Zealand is now reassessing its emissions reduction targets to reflect the realities of the current situation.
