The developments over the past month show that aviation has become a central issue in the debate on reducing emissions in public transport. While the ever-increasing relevance and potential of aviation has been known for quite a while, just in recent months the issue has received significant attention by European policymakers. As a result, many processes have been pushed at once, including the strong support for an emissions cap by the ICAO, last month’s first European Aviation Environmental Report, as well as a public consultation on how emissions can be further reduced.
While these processes are both significant in their potential impact and expressive of the seriousness of European policymakers, they all seem to point in one specific direction: “market-based measuresâ€. Therefore, it stands to argue that the European Union is willing to push for greater sustainability in aviation, however, not through strong legislation but rather through regulatory adjustments promoting sustainability in the market
