Collaborative efforts among countries, airlines, and regulatory bodies are crucial for developing effective strategies to combat climate change and achieve carbon neutrality in the aviation sector.

The findings of the study serve as a wake-up call for stakeholders in the aviation industry to prioritise sustainability and environmental responsibility. By adopting eco-friendly practices and embracing innovation, India can play a leading role in mitigating aviation emissions and contributing to global efforts to combat climate change.

Overall, the study highlights the need for concerted action to reduce aviation emissions and transition towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly aviation sector.
