European airlines’ emissions on course to exceed pre-pandemic levels
- European airline emissions are set to exceed pre-pandemic levels in 2025, reaching 195.2 million tonnes of CO2 mainly during flights within and departing Europe.
- This rise follows the near-complete recovery of air traffic since COVID-19, combined with EU and UK emissions trading systems not fully covering international long-haul flights.
- Critics argue the current reliance on CORSIA for international emissions and loopholes in the EU ETS allow airlines to avoid paying for the full environmental cost of pollution.
- Transport & Environment noted that expanding the ETS scope to all flights could have raised an additional €7.5 billion last year and drive stronger emissions reductions.
- Many experts caution that without closing existing loopholes and implementing comprehensive policy changes, the European aviation sector is unlikely to achieve its net-zero goals by 2050, potentially exacerbating environmental harm.
