Bizav Operators Face ETS Carbon Credit Fines

Some business aviation and smaller airline operators are facing the prospect of fines for failing to meet the European Union’s April 30 deadline for submitting carbon credits under the emissions trading scheme (ETS), according to carbon trading specialist CF Partners. Although the European Commission agreed last November to suspend the application of ETS for flights to and from points outside the EU, the cap-and-trade scheme still applies to flights between EU airports, even for operators based outside the EU.
