Airline CEOs warn EU plan to expand carbon costs will raise fares

European airline CEOs, including leaders from Air France-KLM, Lufthansa, IAG, and Ryanair, have urged the EU not to extend its Emissions Trading System (ETS) to international flights. They warn that expanding carbon pricing beyond the European Economic Area will increase airfares and cargo costs. The industry argues this move undermines CORSIA, the UN’s global emissions scheme. However, the European Commission believes the expansion ensures fair competition and doubts CORSIA alone can effectively achieve Europe’s climate goals.
