US: A4A to Congress: Govt mandate to reduce emissions not needed
A senior official with A4A defended the airline industry’s record on emissions reduction before the US Congress, saying that the proposed Green New Deal’s call to replace air travel with high-speed rail ignores progress carriers have made toward increasing fuel efficiency and developing new technology. The remarks came during a Feb 26 hearing of the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee held to examine the impacts of federal infrastructure policy on climate change and the environment. A4A VP-environmental affairs Nancy Young said: “We are already doing a number of things that are suggested as measures in the GND, like developing and deploying sustainable alternative jet fuel and innovating in technology and operations infrastructure." <br/>
