PARIS/BRUSSELS - European airlines crippled by the coronavirus have demanded lasting relief from environmental taxes - in a move that pits their immediate survival against longer-term emissions goals.
“This industry is going to have more taxes, not less taxes, and I think you all know it,” top EU transport official Henrik Hololei told airline CEOs in Brussels this month. “Airlines calling for public support in bad times should accept they need to start paying taxes in good times,” he said. IATA now expects 2020 air traffic to fall by more than 16%, potentially cutting carbon dioxide emissions by 100 million tonnes, based on earlier forecasts and emissions data.
