Policy support is vital to make net zero transition a success
The cost of the transition to airlines can be estimated as the additional cost of using SAF (and other levers), over and above the cost of fossil-based jet fuel.

Transition costs and relative magnitudes
IATA estimates total transition cost, defined as the additional costs for the transition levers that airlines could face over and above the traditional fuel bill, at about USD 4.7 trillion over 2024-2050 (Net Zero CO2 Transition Finance Roadmap).
