TAG Offers To Ease Emissions Trading Headaches for Bizav Operators

TAG Aviation is tapping its own experience of having to comply with the European Union’s emissions trading scheme (ETS) to provide support to other business aircraft operators in dealing with what remains a burdensome process. Through the new TAG ETS Solutions service, the Switzerland-based business aviation services group can provide a full turnkey package covering all requirements for monitoring, reporting and verifying carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, as well as actually purchasing carbon credits, which operators will have to do beginning in April next year.

The cost of the full turnkey package will be approximately $5,500 per year, but operators can opt to pay less to have TAG staff handle only particular elements of the process. “The point is that no one has yet created an ‘A-Z’ package, which is at the heart of our offering,” TAG Aviation CEO Robert Wells told AIN.
