The CEO of Qatar Airways has described the airline industry's emissions goals as a 'PR exercise,' saying aviation is on track to miss its target to achieve net zero status in 2050.

Akbar Al Baker was speaking to CNN at the annual meeting of the International Air Transport Association , on the day the group announced a roadmap to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. “Let us not fool ourselves,” Al Baker told CNN’s Richard Quest. “We will not even reach the targets we have for 2030, I assure you. Because there is not enough raw material to get the volumes of SAF [sustainable aviation fuel].

” Earlier on Monday, IATA Director-General Willie Walsh unveiled a series of steps roadmaps for the industry to achieve the net zero target, saying they showed “a clear direction” for the industry’s efforts to decarbonize. Currently, SAF production is less than 0.1% of what is needed for aviation to achieve net zero. But Walsh said the trend is positive, pointing to a tripling of production to 300 million liters last year. That would need to rise to 450 billion liters in 2050.
