The U.S. Aerospace Industries Association will commit on Monday to work with airlines and governments to achieve the target, joining a growing aviation industry consensus that also includes airports, according to the sources. A broader aviation industry lobby, the Air Transport Action Group, is also expected to sign up later this week. Environmental groups say the emerging net-zero 2050 target does not go far enough and must be enforced by government action. The commitment includes commercial aviation manufacturers such as planemaker Boeing Co and suppliers Honeywell International and Spirit AeroSystems. European planemaker Airbus has already said it would back the 2050 target.
