The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) and other industry groups on Tuesday committed to “net zero” carbon emissions by 2050, as the sector's flagship private jet show kicked off in Las Vegas.

Business aviation has joined airlines and airports in strengthening its plans to tackle climate change. Earlier, the industry had pledged to halve emissions from 2005 levels by 2050.

While business aviation emits a fraction of pollution compared with commercial, private travel has come under widening scrutiny because it generates more emissions per passenger than scheduled airline traffic. But like airlines, corporate aircraft executives agree the quickest way to cut emissions is through use of sustainable aviation fuel which is not widely available due to its higher costs.

While SAF is now in too short supply to satisfy the needs of commercial aviation, a ramp up in production could more easily satisfy private flights, Trappier said.
