Efforts to achieve carbon-free flights must form a key part of plans to rebuild the aviation industry, according to UK business, energy, and industrial strategy minister Nadhim Zahawi. Speaking in a webinar as part of the FIA Connect event on Tuesday, he reported that the newly announced Jet Zero Council will meet soon, bringing together senior leadership from government and industry to set a strategy for achieving the goal of net-zero emissions for long- and short-haul air transport by 2050.
