BTN Europe: EU plans launch of Flight Emissions Label in 2025
The European Commission has launched a public consultation into the new EU Flight Emissions Label, which aims to provide airline passengers with “trustworthy and harmonised environmental information” about flights.
The initiative, which the EU hopes will be available for “voluntary use” by airlines from 2025, is designed to provide “standardised information” on the CO2 footprint of flights in the EU.
How to measure the carbon emissions from flights and other modes of transport has become a major issue as the corporate travel industry attempts to make business trips more sustainable. BT4Europe, the European network of business travel associations, has been calling for “standardised, accurate and comparable” data on carbon emissions from travel since its formation two years.
