The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) has raised concerns over a recent report, accusing it of selectively using data, relying on flawed analysis, and disregarding critical facts to present a biased perspective on sustainability and the business aviation sector. The association emphasized that the industry remains firmly committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
