Decarbonisation: for months now, not a single air transport conference has failed to address this issue, which has been all the more compelling since the International Air Transport Association (IATA), which represents the entire sector, made a commitment on 4 October, 2021 in Boston to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. The stakes are high: the aviation sector “accounts for 2.6% of carbon emissions and contributes 5.1% to global warming, due to its other effects, in particular the emission of condensation trails”, Antoine Laborde, director of fuel purchasing at Air France, told a masterclass devoted to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in May 2023.
