Still, Canada’s business aviation sector is fully committed to doing its part; investing in technology, efficiency, and sustainable fuels to build a cleaner future for all.

  • Net-Zero Aircraft Emissions by 2050
  • CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation)
  • Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)
    • Due to the importance of using sustainable aviation fuels to decarbonize the aviation sector the Canadian Aviation Climate Action Plan also sets a goal for the aviation sector of 10% sustainable aviation fuels use by 2030
  • Improved Operational Efficiency
  • New Aircraft and Propulsion Technologies
  • Airport Sustainability Initiatives
  • Carbon-neutral growth since 2020
