Qatar Airways reports minimal Scope 3 emissions and rising absolute emissions despite expansion targets. Supply chain visibility is near-zero, science-based targets absent, and the 10% SAF by 2030 goal leaves 90% of fuel conventional. Greenwashing complaints and IATA's climate policy opposition undermine credibility.
