As we approach 2025, the air cargo industry faces a significant shift, with demand expected to outpace capacity growth, highlighting the urgency for sustainability. Innovations like upcycling, AeroSHARK technology, and the adoption of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) are at the forefront of this transformation. Major airlines and stakeholders are committing to net-zero emissions by 2050, with initiatives like the EU’s ReFuelEU aiming for increased SAF usage. Challenges remain, particularly in SAF supply and cost, but collaboration and advancements in technology are driving the sector toward a more eco-friendly future.
