Speaking during a panel session at Spain’s inaugural Sustainability Day on Wednesday (26 April), policy director for the Aviation Environment Federation (AEF) Cait Hewitt said there are "huge uncertainties" over the sector’s carbon reduction goals and aviation is "nowhere near where it needs to be".
"There is no doubt that flying brings benefits but if those benefits come at the expense of a liveable planet, then that cost is too high," she said.
