To realise the pathway outlined in the DESTINATION 2050 Roadmap, joint, coordinated and decisive industry and government efforts are required in the aforementioned areas.
A combination of four key measures can help achieve substantial CO2 emissions reductions in line with EU climate goals:
By 2050, next generation aircraft and engine technology and subsequent fleet replacement forms the second most important element for achieving net zero CO2.
We believe that together, policymakers and the industry can make net zero CO2 emissions a reality by 2050. In 2030, net CO2 emissions from intra-European flights would be reduced by 62%, compared to 1990 levels through a combination of fleet renewal, SAF, operational measures and EU ETS/CORSIA, well above the 55% reduction EU climate goal for 2030.
To achieve net zero CO2 aviation in Europe by 2050, while maintaining a competitive aviation industry that continues to benefit society – joint, coordinated and decisive industry and government efforts are required. The time to act is now to make European aviation’s climate ambitions a reality.
Scaling up the use of alternative fuels and sustainable energy is the biggest lever to reduce emissions towards realising net zero CO2 emissions by 2050. Achieving this requires the rapid industrial deployment and financing of SAF and synthetic fuel production facilities, along with a drastic increase in low-carbon electricity production.

SAF account for up to 56% of aviation’s pathway to decarbonise by 2050.
Here is how the deployment of SAF can make a difference:
Economic measures, like EU ETS and CORSIA, incentivise the aviation sector to reduce emissions by putting a direct cost on CO2. This incentives the development and uptake of alternative fuels and sustainable energy.

Here is how economic measures can make a difference:
Improvements in air traffic management (ATM) and aircraft operations will make an important contribution to reducing aviation’s CO2 emissions. Over time, the average improvement in fuel burn per flight in 2030 will be 7.8%, 9.5% by 2040, and 11.6% by 2050. The ATM and aircraft operations pillar will contribute 6% to CO2 emission savings to achieve net zero by 2050.

The climate impact of aviation includes non-CO2 impacts such as contrail cirrus and nitrogen oxide emissions, which can contribute significantly to global warming.
The Roadmap therefore also addresses the scientific and technological aspects of non-CO2 effects. While uncertainties remain, there is broad scientific consensus that non-CO2 emissions have a warming effect.
Potential mitigation strategies exist in three areas:
