Air New Zealand has decided against setting climate goals and instead will issue periodic guidance on how its climate efforts are tracking.

It comes a year after the airline scrapped its 2030 climate targets, saying they were “unaffordable and unattainable,” and promised to work on a new target that better reflects industry challenges.
