This IDC Perspective explores how airlines operators and aircraft manufacturers can navigate the path to net zero. It explores key decarbonization strategies, from scaling sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and alternative propulsion to leveraging digital technologies for efficiency. "The aviation industry is one of the fastest-growing sources of GHG emissions, but decarbonization faces technology and infrastructure challenges," said Angela Salmeron, research director, IDC Energy Insights. "SAF is promising, but robust government policies are essential to provide stability and build confidence across the industry."
