While investments in Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) and innovative electric propulsion solutions continue to grow, the mainstay of sustainability efforts for the foreseeable future will be depending on offsetting, an area where consumer trust and efficacy remains questionable. In light of these stalling developments, who’s holding back development and how can we overcome slow progress in sustainable aviation to keep on flying?
