October 02, 2013 at 2:58 pmIt is also fair to point out that the aviation industry as a whole has had the toughest carbon reduction targets of any global industry in place since 2009, comprising:
1.5% fuel efficiency improvement per year to 2020
Carbon-neutral growth from 2020
50% cut in net emissions by 2050 (compared to 2009).
These targets obviously apply to the air freight sector as well.
