IATA is actively promoting collaborative efforts on
technology and is lobbying hard for governments to
improve infrastructure. For operations, there is a major
initiative to spread best practices. More needs to be done
about the challenges of climate change, but the airline
industry is already stepping up efforts with a bold vision of
zero emissions and an important target of carbon-neutral
growth. The key lesson for both policy-makers and the
industry is to look beyond simple economic instruments
for mechanisms to bring about an effective reduction in
emissions from air travel.
