Controversial plans for reducing aviation emissions have reached a new height at the European HQ in Brussels and disputes are rumoured to continue.
Under this new plan they aim to create a ‘taxable’ credit scheme for airlines flying to and from Europe, from which airlines will gain significant credits for reducing their carbon emissions. By following these guidelines the EU Brussels HQ aim to set a standard for global industries to take more responsibility towards reducing their emissions.
Although this new scheme has come under fire by the IATA, which has claimed that the ruling is breaking the international codes by “imposing a ruling on international airspace”, there are still plans for legislation to go ahead effective January 1st 2012.
The cost to airlines is expected to reach $1bn and Zenon will be monitoring the negotiations very closely. According to Head of Recruitment Graham Merriman, “Zenon is proud of its global relationships and hopes that under this new policy a satisfactory conclusion for the industry can be reached to enable continual recruitment growth.”
