The aviation industry, being an essential sector for global trade and economy, faces the challenge of addressing climate change concerns due to greenhouse gas emissions, with the mission of achieving Zero Emissions by 2050. This work focuses on studying and analysing a strategy for the future of aviation based on the acquisition of aircraft with more efficient propulsion engines to help solve the emissions problem. This strategy will be looked at mainly in financial matters for the airline, but there will also be reference to the amounts of emissions that are an older engine and a more efficient engine. The study is based on the comparison between the two versions offered of the Airbus A320 aircraft model, the former CEO version and the more modern and efficient NEO version, and, to achieve the project's main objective, the different costs associated with aircraft will be studied, especially those that have a more differentiated impact on each other, such as the cost of acquisition, the cost of maintenance, the operating costs associated with fuel consumption, and finally the cost of offsetting the CO2 emissions produced by the aircraft. Once the costs are analysed, four different situations will be analysed depending on various circumstances that an airline may have, such as the geography where it operates or the fleet strategy that follows. In this more practical section, we will see whether it is more profitable to acquire cheaper but less efficient and more polluting aircraft, or now it is time to invest in a more expensive, but more efficient fleet in terms of emissions and start to align with the objective of zero discharges, in other words whether the adoption of more efficient aircraft can be a viable and beneficial strategy for both the environment and the economy of airlines. Finally, in practical cases, it will be possible to see that fuel and maintenance costs equal the difference in the cost of acquiring a more modern aircraft, and then everything is decided in the costs of offsetting emissions, but at present the costs of emissions are not being applied in all countries, and therefore this exercise must be used to decide which fleet to acquire according to what situation it finds itself in.
