ICAO backs changes to CORSIA in boost for airlines International

摘要

The International Civil Aviation Organization's (ICAO) governing council agreed on June 30, 2020 to change the baseline year used for calculating emissions under the global CORSIA deal from 2020 to 2019, in a boost for airlines that said they could face billions of dollars in costs under the current deal when air travel recovers from the coronavirus pandemic. Airlines, hit with a European-led backlash over pollution from flights, have pledged to spend billions of dollars under CORSIA to cap their emissions at 2020 levels through the purchase of carbon offsets.
