This is outstanding to see. The urgency required for climate action cannot be overstated. The progress that aviation needs to make in the face of increasing climate impacts, cannot come fast enough. Without progress on emissions, aviation will become a target of fury from those who find their way of life crippled by a planet that can longer sustain their lifestyle. Aviation brings too many great things to simply stay stagnant and await the chopping block.

Progress in aviation can and will happen. Anyone that says otherwise is ignoring what aviation has been up to for the last 120 years. Bravo IcelandAir!

Ok, actually cool- tech changes, not just carbon offsets & greenwashing!

Yep, my immediate reaction was utter cynicism “carbon offsettting does not equal carbon free!”

Glad this is actually tech driven.

Short-haul flights might be low-hanging fruit for carbon free flying elsewhere too. I’d love some guilt-free flights to the continent.

We still gotta push electric planes, lol. While plane CO2 is actually low per capita as it's mass transit, if we can get full EV planes it still a bonus. Electrification is necessary at the end goals.
