Abstract

Aviation is, compared to other industries, considerably less regulated when it comes to environmental externalities. Policy measures need to be implemented to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from aviation and internalise aviation’s external costs. To achieve this, measures to reduce the demand and to reduce the remaining flights’ climate impact need to be considered. To diminish the demand, a change of thinking and air transport consumption is required. This could, for example, be achieved through a declaration of emissions on tickets, defining how passengers pay CO2 charges (e.g. in addition to the final ticket price), regulating the marketing communication for airline offers (e.g. no price communication) and environmental education. For a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions per flight, synthetic fuels provide a promising solution. A mandatory blending quota, for example, could secure demand for synthetic fuels.
