European Business Aviation Association Challenges Emissions Trading Scheme

The European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) and the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) are calling for changes to the European Union’s Emissions Trading Scheme, which is set to bring more business aircraft under its remit. The proposed changes have been met with concern from the business aviation industry, which argues that the current scheme is unfair.
