Aviation executives meeting at the Global Sustainable Aviation Summit in Geneva were told that the countdown had begun for airlines and governments to prepare for the carbon offsetting and reduction scheme for international aviation (CORSIA), which was agreed by governments meeting at the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) 12 months ago.
