India to unveil national SAF policy with 1% blending target by 2027; IATA urges incentives before mandates India will publish a national Sustainable Aviation Fuel policy that targets 1% SAF blending by 2027, the civil aviation minister said, positioning the measure to reduce oil imports and create green jobs. IATA warns that imposing mandates without production incentives would harm airlines and recommends stimulus instead.

U.S. tariffs and unstable domestic policies curb Latin America air cargo’s modest gains Air freight across Latin America grew only modestly, ALTA says, as U.S. tariffs damp exports to the United States and hit markets including Brazil. IATA and ALTA leaders in Lima warned that unstable policies, high taxes and poor infrastructure—notably in Brazil and Panama—risk stunting aviation and cargo growth.

IATA study: Technology rollout, not feedstock, is the main barrier to scaling SAF for 2050 net‑zero A new IATA–Worley study finds sufficient sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) feedstock exists to enable the industry to reach net‑zero CO2 by 2050, but concludes that technology deployment — not feedstock availability — is the principal bottleneck to scaling SAF production, with direct consequences for investment, policy and industrialisation timelines.
