Airlines look to Biden Administration for incentives for cleaner fuels

UNDATED (AP) — Airline officials are talking to the Biden administration about support for incentives to use cleaner fuels for airplanes. Leaders of several of the largest U.S. passenger and cargo airlines held an online meeting Friday with White House climate adviser Gina McCarthy and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. The White House says administration officials are optimistic after hearing the airline CEOs talk about efforts to combat climate change. The president of the trade group Airlines for America says the carriers want to be part of the solution. Airplanes account for a small but fast-growing share of emissions that can cause climate change.
