EU imposes emissions tax on airlines
Submitted by rummykhan on Sat, 2011-09-17 14:55
Starting January 1, 2012, airlines using the EU airspace would have to pay a fee for any emission that exceeds a set cap. This fee is part of the EU-ETS (EU-Emissions Trading Scheme), which is the EU’s key tool to reduce industrial greenhouse gas emissions. The move has been on the cards since 2008, but as the date draws closer, airline associations are getting more vocal about their unwillingness to pay.
