ZeroAvia cites net‑zero policy headwinds, slashes workforce and delays certification ZeroAvia says changes in the net‑zero policy landscape over the past year have created material headwinds, prompting a significant reduction in staff and the postponement of previously targeted certification timelines for its hydrogen‑electric propulsion programs. The move signals recalibration of resources and milestones amid funding and regulatory uncertainty.

SAF and new‑aircraft shortages threaten aviation’s net‑zero push; ICAO calls for cooperative sourcing Shortages of fuel‑efficient new aircraft and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) are squeezing supply, lifting supplier margins and threatening aviation's net‑zero 2050 goal, IATA warned. ICAO urged cooperative global action—warning against treating developing states as feedstock suppliers—while IATA’s resolution is driving SAF investment and certification momentum.

IATA's Net Zero by 2050 judged 'beyond reach' — R&D and SAF efforts continue IATA's 2021 Net Zero by 2050 target is now judged beyond reach, Leeham News reports, as technological and feedstock constraints undercut the industry's decarbonisation trajectory. Airlines, OEMs and fuel producers continue R&D and sustainable aviation fuel deployment even as timelines and mandates are reassessed.

ZeroAvia restructures ZA600 certification after funding shortfall and major layoffs ZeroAvia says it has restructured certification plans for its 600 kW ZA600 hydrogen-electric powertrain after a funding shortfall prompted sweeping redundancies that eliminated roughly half of its workforce. The developer broke its silence on the cuts as it recalibrates timelines and resource allocation for ZA600 certification.
