IATA urges ICAO to safeguard CORSIA, accelerate SAF and raise safety at 42nd Assembly

IATA will press governments at the 42nd ICAO Assembly (23 Sep–3 Oct 2025) to accelerate SAF production, defend and strengthen the CORSIA offsetting framework, and advance safety and operational reforms — from pilot retirement age to cockpit video recorders — among nine priorities.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • IATA’s SAF demand push responds to constrained global supply: Africa’s SAF projects total a projected 0.6 Mt by 2030, underlining why national support measures such as the Danish state aid scheme to drive SAF uptake will be central to implementation.

  • Safeguarding CORSIA and its offsetting rules affects airlines’ compliance exposure and carbon-cost risk across markets; this agenda item plays into broader negotiations over a global emissions framework ahead of ICAO.

  • IATA’s safety asks — including proposals on pilot retirement age and cockpit video recorders — are already the subject of regulatory and political debate and could drive near-term changes in certification and operational oversight, as seen in recent moves by bipartisan senators on pilot retirement age and IATA’s call to install cockpit video recorders.
