Governments must provide "large-scale incentives" to quickly increase the production of sustainable aviation fuels, as the industry seeks to meet its net-zero carbon target by 2050, the International Air Transport Association says.

Current estimates are for SAF to account for 65 per cent of aviation’s carbon mitigation in 2050, which would require an annual production capacity of 449 billion litres, the global airline body said.

Investments are in place to expand SAF annual production from the current 125 million litres to five billion by 2025.
