Jan Gruber August 30, 2024 14:31

Lobby group Airlines for America (A4A) has spoken out against the planned expansion of the EU's pollution monitoring program to flights to and from destinations outside Europe. A4A argues that the science is uncertain and that implementing the new requirements could lead to a rise in ticket prices. According to reports from The Guardian, A4A tried to persuade the European Commission to limit this requirement to European flights. The planned system will require European flights to report their values ​​for non-CO2025 emissions such as nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide from January 2. From 2027, this will also apply to non-European flights. Critics, such as the non-profit organization InfluenceMap, point out that non-CO2 emissions account for a significant part of the climate impact of flying. IATA partially supports A4A's concerns and calls for the system to be introduced voluntarily due to the uncertainties surrounding the science.
