The New Zealand Airports Association highlights the importance of decarbonisation in the aviation industry for economic and social connectivity. The recent announcement of trans-Tasman cooperation on sustainable aviation fuels and green hydrogen between New Zealand and Australia is seen as a crucial step towards securing New Zealand's future as an aviation hub and export market. The involvement of key government officials from both countries in this collaboration, including the Finance and Climate Change Ministers, indicates a strong commitment to sustainable aviation practices. Both countries recognize the necessity of transitioning to zero emission and low emission fuels and technologies. Australia's potential to lead in sustainable aviation fuel production is acknowledged, with New Zealand showing support for this initiative. By joining Australia's Jet Zero Council and engaging in their SAF strategies, New Zealand aims to align regionally and support the development of a successful global SAF market. The NZ Airports Association looks forward to further discussions and partnerships to advance sustainable aviation in the region.
