October 2nd 2023
JAL Group CEO, Yuji Akasaka, said the airline company’s fleet will be 70% operated by fuel-efficient aircraft by 2030 as part of efforts to achieve net zero CO₂ emissions by 2050. Read More » Writing in the JAL Group sustainability report, Akasaka said achieving net zero CO₂ emissions for the group was growing in importance day by day. “The Japanese government's broad policy clearly states the direction of carbon neutrality in the aviation sector,” Akasaka said. “One of the pillars of CO2 reduction is the renewal to fuel-efficient aircraft. In addition to our main fleets of Airbus A350s and Boeing 787s, we decided to introduce the Boeing 737 MAX to our operations in fiscal year 2026. The share of these advanced fuel-efficient aircraft is expected to be more than 70% in fiscal 2030, up from about 30% pre-pandemic. We will continue to steadily promote aircraft renewal.” Akasaka reaffirmed the company’s target of operating with at least 10% of its fuel consumption with sustainable aviation fuel by 2030.
