If tickets of EU airlines become more expensive as a result of the EU’s environmental measures, would you consider flying with a non-EU airline or a different route instead?
While this may reduce emissions in one country, it will actually increase them in another. Can this so-called ‘carbon leakage’ and the competitive disadvantage for EU airlines be mitigated with a ‘Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism’ (CBAM) for aviation?
Niall’s attempt at bringing together different legal angles is published in the Journal of Air and Space Law and is now available online here
