Airlines Focus on Global Emissions at Upcoming UN Aviation Assembly

Airlines are meeting at a UN conference to talk about reducing pollution from airplanes.

They're discussing a deal to limit emissions, which involves buying carbon credits and using green fuel.

The industry aims to cut emissions by 5% by 2030, but it's proving difficult.

Additionally, topics like raising pilot retirement age and safety are on the agenda.

There's also debate over whether Russia should return to the ICAO council.

Airline officials believe the industry needs to do its part, despite changing geopolitical issues.
