Is there a way for the aviation industry to reduce its carbon footprint?

Even if the Covid-19 pandemic shut down much of the industry, the number of air passengers is expected to double to 10 billion by 2050.

Engine manufacturer CFM, a joint venture between GE and Safran, hopes to have a new generation of engines available by 2035 that will be over 20% more efficient than those currently in use. They would have the advantage of being able to be used by existing aircraft with little or no modification and may result in reductions of CO2 emissions by as much as 80 percent over their entire cycle of use.

It is also being explored as a hybrid option, with batteries providing extra power for takeoff, allowing the use of more efficient smaller engines.

Yeah by making them smaller and less costly

By dropping out of the sky 😂
