Speaking during Abta’s Decarbonising Tourism webinar on Thursday (11 November), the group’s programme director Andy Jefferson explained the challenge facing the industry is how quickly it can deliver new technologies such as hydrogen and electric-power, which he said were some 10 years away from a "major" scale-up.
"There are challenges going forward, clearly, as decarbonising aviation is really hard," Jefferson said. "We are one of the hardest sectors to decarbonise, but there is a lot of work going on behind the scenes to make that happen, but also an absolute commitment across the industry. We are absolutely moving in the right direction."
