Swiss Aviation Emissions Trading Deadline Imminent
European country is not part of the EU but scheme will fill gap in EU-ETS region.

Aircraft operators flying into and out of Switzerland from the EU and domestically in Switzerland are required to deliver the first data for the country’s new emissions trading scheme (ETS) by the end of this month. With the deadline fast approaching, many business aviation operators might not be aware that the new scheme came into force on July 1, with data acquisition taking place from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2018. It is being administered by the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN).
