Recommendation 31

While we note the ambition shown by the Government and by the aviation industry in proposing technological methods to reduce aviation emissions, we recognise the very significant challenges for the industry in delivering the required reductions, and note that any additional costs associated with carbon reduction, such as carbon pricing through ETS and Corsia schemes, unless fully absorbed by the sector, could reflected in ticket prices and may have further impacts on overall demand. Further such costs on the sector which limit demand may run the risk of stifling the innovation that the Government and industry strategies rely on, and may skew the international aviation market in favour of more polluting airlines in a way that the multilateral ETS and Corsia schemes are designed to avoid.
