T&E response to the public consultation on the Flight Emissions Label

• The non-CO2 effects of aviation are yet again hidden from passengers.
• The proposed method to apportion emissions to belly cargo would hide an additional 4 Mt of CO2 from European consumers, equal to 4% of all passenger emissions.
• CO2 efficiency per kilometre is not a relevant indicator to assess the environmental impact of a flight.
• Comparing the emissions of a given flight only to emissions of other flights on the same route is misleading whenever a train alternative is available.
• Passengers should be given more information about SAF than its life cycle emissions.
