NBAA Joins Coalition Asking Congress for Action on Aviation Sustainability Initiatives

The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) and a broad coalition of aviation groups has urged Congress to consider wide-ranging and comprehensive legislative proposals to achieve dramatic carbon emissions reductions in upcoming infrastructure legislation.  

The aviation groups called on the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee, U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the U.S. House Science, Space and Technology Committee to consider legislative efforts in four core areas that will be critical to realizing the aviation sector’s environmental goals. These proposals focus on the development, production and distribution of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), the deployment of low- and zero-emission technologies, increased funding for aviation environmental research and development and continued advancements in air traffic management.

To meet these goals, the industry groups have devised a comprehensive series of legislative proposals that will capitalize on the already significant sustainability investments made by the aviation industry. “We urge you to include these provisions in upcoming infrastructure legislation to provide one of the most difficult industries to decarbonize a once-in-a-generation opportunity leap ahead on our environmental goals,” the letter reads.
