Virgin Australia has committed to a target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, with Qantas having made a similar commitment in late 2019. Virgin Australia CEO Jayne Hrdlicka announced its pledge at an International Air Transport Association event, with the Association having voted for an industry-wide net zero commitment in October. Hrdlicka says that sustainable aviation fuels are crucial if airlines are to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, but she adds that there is no sustainable aviation fuel industry in Australia at present.
