IATA's CORSIA Alliance Grows to 50 Members with New Government and Industry Support for Aviation Carbon Credits

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced that its Supporting Alliance for CORSIA Eligible Emissions Unit (EEU) Supply has reached 50 members. New signatories include the governments of Guyana, Madagascar, the United Kingdom, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, along with organizations like IETA, Sylvera, and Airbus. The alliance aims to scale the supply of high-quality carbon credits for the aviation industry's Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA), which expects demand of 225 to 250 million EEUs by spring 2027. The alliance focuses on practical support for host countries to authorize credits, improve access to carbon markets, and manage the interface between national climate pledges and CORSIA requirements. Members include airlines such as Air France-KLM, Singapore Airlines, and Qatar Airways, as well as carbon market stakeholders like Gold Standard, South Pole, and Xpansiv. The initiative targets coordinated assistance to bring credits to market with the speed and scale needed for compliance. IATA's Senior Vice President for Sustainability noted the commitment across the full spectrum of market participants to strengthen the link between demand and policy frameworks. The alliance remains open to additional governments and organizations joining as momentum builds, with the goal of ensuring a reliable supply of CORSIA-eligible credits for international aviation decarbonization.
