Four airlines — easyJet, Ryanair, Jet2, and Wizz Air — together with clean mobility group T&E are calling for equal rules to apply to all flights departing from European airports, regardless of their destination, in order for European measures to effectively decarbonise the aviation industry by 2050.
As part of its Fit for 55 package, the European Commission is proposing to reform the Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) rules for aviation, but the draft fails to address the bulk of aviation emissions — over 60% of emissions — which take place on extra-EU flights. Departing long-haul flights alone represent just 6% of all flights, but generate 51% of the emissions from European aviation.¹
In order for the aviation industry to decarbonise by 2050, T&E and the four airlines say it is vital that this effort is shared equally among all actors. No exemptions should be granted, especially not to airlines operating transfer and long-haul flights, as some long-haul airlines and associated hub airports have asked for. Their requests to have ETS and sustainable fuel costs subsidised for long-haul flights are unreasonable and unjustified.
Vse lete v kraje zunaj EGP je treba vključiti v EU ETS. V sedanjem stanju imajo prevozniki znotraj EU 80–90 % svojih emisij zajetih v ETS, medtem ko prevozniki na dolge razdalje kupijo dobropise le za približno 19 % svojih – veliko večjih – emisij.
Nekatere letalske družbe trdijo, da obstaja tveganje, da se bodo nekateri deli industrije izogibali ambicioznim podnebnim predpisom, kar bo povzročilo selitev emisij COXNUMX. Uhajanje ogljika se zgodi, ko se letalski prevozniki izognejo plačilu dodatnih stroškov čistega goriva ali pravic do trgovanja z emisijami tako, da svoje emisije prenesejo v druge regije. študije so pokazale, da so nekatere od teh trditev neutemeljene in da ni razloga, da EU ne bi uvedla podnebnih ukrepov za vse odhodne lete s svojega ozemlja.
William Todts, izvršni direktor pri T&E, said: “It’s absurd that people flying to Madrid or Budapest have to pay carbon taxes but far more polluting trips to New York or Singapore are exempt. Long distance flights generate the largest chunk of aviation emissions and contrails. It’s about time the EU puts an end to this anomaly and starts addressing all of aviation’s emissions in its carbon market.”
Michael O'Leary, izvršni direktor skupine Ryanair said: “While all airlines claim to be committed to decarbonisation, actions speak louder than words. It is crucial that legislative proposals, such as the Fit for 55 package, apply equally to all flights, regardless of destination or distance. There is no justification to exempt any flights, especially the most polluting indirect ones which require at least 2 flights to reach their destination, and/or connect onto long-haul flights, which account for just 6% of Europe’s air passengers but over 51% of EU air travel CO2 emissions.”
Johan Lundgren, izvršni direktor easyJeta, said: “Aviation needs to do more to tackle climate change, which is why we are championing zero emission technology. But this means that the whole industry has to play its part, this includes long haul airlines which is why we cannot allow exemptions to new EU regulations.”
József Váradi, generalni direktor skupine Wizz Air said: “Wizz Air urges all airlines to play their part in decarbonising the aviation industry. The Fit for 55 policy provides an opportunity for aviation to tackle climate change – but to be effective, the measures must apply to all departing flights, regardless of the final destination. We should not get sucked into unfounded carbon leakage claims made by the big European legacy carriers. If they had their way, their inefficient, hub and spoke long-haul operations would be exempt from the policy. Carbon does not stop at the EU border.”
