An Air New Zealand plane is seen during game two of the Women's ODI series between New Zealand and Pakistan at Hagley Oval on December 15, 2023 in Christchurch, New Zealand. Air New Zealand on Tuesday dropped its 2030 climate goal, citing delivery delays of fuel-efficient aircraft and the affordability of alternative jet fuels. "As such and given so many levers needed to meet the target are outside our control, the decision has been made to retract the 2030 target." Air New Zealand had previously said its 2030 target was to reduce carbon intensity by 28.9%, compared to 2019 levels. The airline said Tuesday that work has begun on a new near-term target.
