Europe is taking a “stick” approach to reducing aircraft CO2 emissions, while the U.S. is going the “carrot” route, General Aviation Manufacturers Association director of government affairs Marc Ehudin explained yesterday at AIN’s Building a Sustainable Flight Department forum in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The U.S. is aiming for net-zero emissions for aviation by 2050, while the European Union (EU) is targeting a 55 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
