Despite being considered a hard-to-abate sector, aviation's emissions will play an important role in long-term climate mitigation of transportation. The introduction of low-carbon energy carriers and the deployment of new aircraft in the current fleet are modeled as a technology-centered decarbonization policy, and supply constraints in targeted market segments are modeled as demand-side policy. Shared socioeconomic pathways (SSP) are used to estimate the trend traffic demand and limit the sectoral consumption of electricity and biomass. Mitigation scenarios are formulated as optimization problems and three applications are demonstrated: single-policy optimization, scenario-robust policy, and multiobjective policy trade-off. Overall, we find that the choice of energy carrier to embark is highly dependent on assumptions regarding aircraft technology and background energy system, and that aligning trend scenarios with the Paris Agreement market-targeted traffic constraints are required to align trend scenarios with the Paris Agreement. The usual burdens associated with nonlinear optimization with high-dimensional variables are dealt with by jointly using libraries for Multidisciplinary Optimization (GEMSEO) and Automatic Differentiation (JAX), which resulted in speedups of two orders of magnitude at the optimization level, while reducing associated implementation efforts.
