Delta’s Commitment to a Sustainable Future
Delta aims to connect people to a more sustainable future of travel. Achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 for Delta’s airline operations is the ultimate goal. But the global aviation industry is a hard-to-abate sector. Delta’s multi-pronged approach to make progress toward this goal focuses on improving the efficiency of our fleet, innovating aircraft operations, and increasing the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) to reduce our emissions. In the short term, Delta is working to transition to a more fuel-efficient fleet and enhancing operational efficiency to reduce jet fuel burn. Longer-term efforts include replacing a growing proportion of traditional jet fuel with SAF and collaborating with innovators to revolutionize aviation.
