The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) has raised concerns over a recent report, accusing it of selectively using data, relying on flawed analysis, and disregarding critical facts to present a biased perspective on sustainability and the business aviation sector. The association emphasized that the industry remains firmly committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
The report makes an overly simplistic assumption that flights during the summer are exclusively for non-business purposes, disregarding the reality that business aviation often facilitates essential face-to-face meetings with clients or customers, irrespective of the season or destination.
Bolen said the report also omits crucial facts about the sector’s progress on carbon reduction.
Equally significant, while business aviation steadily advances its efforts to reduce emissions and promote sustainability, the report disregards numerous independent studies that underscore the sector’s vital role in global economic and transportation systems. Business aviation serves as a key economic driver and employer, connects underserved communities, enhances corporate efficiency and productivity, and supports critical humanitarian missions.
