The Association of Asia Pacific Airlines (AAPA), which represents 18 carriers including Air India, has called for government support as airlines grapple with rising fuel prices and operational costs. The group is also urging government leadership during the transition to sustainability, particularly in addressing challenges related to the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) for decarbonisation.
The AAPA's call comes amid growing pressure on airlines to reduce carbon emissions while managing increasing expenses. The association has highlighted the need for policy support and collaboration to facilitate the adoption of SAF, which is seen as a key component in achieving long-term environmental goals in aviation.
