Air New Zealand scrapped its 2030 carbon emissions reduction targets on Tuesday, July 20, 2024, citing lags in producing new planes, a lack of alternative fuel and"challenging" regulatory and policy settings.
The airline — which was led until 2019 by the now-Prime Minister of New Zealand, Christopher Luxon — was due to begin progress reports on its 2030 emissions targets during this financial year. In Tuesday’s statement, the airline’s chair, Dame Therese Walsh, said the carrier would renew its “advocacy for the global and domestic regulatory and policy settings" that would help the aviation sector"do its part to mitigate climate change risks.”
