In a previously undisclosed meeting, US airlines lobbied against the European Commission's plans to monitor the climate impact of aircraft emissions beyond just CO2.
Airlines for America expressed concerns that monitoring emissions from international flights could influence ticket pricing, revealing their reluctance to accept greater accountability for pollution.
Non-CO2 emissions, which can make up two-thirds of the climate impact of flying, remain a significant concern, with US airlines pushing back against comprehensive monitoring.
The European Commission intends to strengthen monitoring of all aircraft emissions in response to evidence of their significant adverse effects, amidst the airlines' lobbying efforts.
