Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) have emerged throughout 2023 as a strong hope for reducing the aviation industry's carbon footprint.
The European Commission has implemented mandates for the adoption of SAF, and airlines have conducted long-distance flights powered entirely by SAF.
Manufacturers are making progress in developing electric aircraft for regional routes, which could help reduce the industry's carbon emissions.
