ASIA PAC: Airlines urged to improve their environmental credentials
Updated
Airlines in the Asia Pacific region are being encouraged to improve their environmental credentials. An Australian aviation think-tank has called for the airline industry to introduce its own carbon emission programs. The Hodgkinson Group is calling for airlines to introduce a strategy where money generated through emission offsets is spent on technological change within the industry and on improving the environment. The Australian airlines Qantas and Jetsar are in the process of introducing carbon offset schemes - a similar measure was announced earlier this year by Cathay Pacific.
