  5. McKinsey & Company – How airlines can chart a path to zero-carbon flying
The coronavirus crisis will transform aviation, giving airlines their best chance yet to address climate change. Sustainable fuels are a key part of that strategy. The industry has a solid record on fuel efficiency: fuel burn per passenger-kilometer has dropped by half since 1990. We don’t know what the pandemic will mean for emissions growth over time, but the target for all industries, companies, and countries is to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, as laid out in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
