Wizz Air, a Hungarian airline, has urged for radical change in the aviation industry to meet net zero goals. The low-cost carrier called for governments to phase out fossil fuel subsidies and redirect the funds into greener jet fuels. Yvonne Moynihan, the corporate & ESG officer at Wizz Air, emphasized the need for realistic measures like sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and technological improvements over hydrogen in their decarbonization roadmap. Moynihan pointed to California as a successful example where government incentives have boosted SAF production through tax breaks. Wizz Air also supports the EU's Emissions Trading System but advocates for reforms to ensure fair distribution of carbon costs, particularly targeting short-haul airlines unfairly penalized under the current system. The airline's stance aligns with the growing pressure on European governments to eliminate fossil fuel subsidies, with the EU aiming to phase out most subsidies by 2030. Wizz Air's call for change reflects the industry's shift towards sustainable practices to combat climate change, emphasizing the importance of government support and reforms in achieving a greener aviation sector.
