Airline emissions reached pre-Covid levels in Europe, T&E study finds

( April 28, 2025, 16:29 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: Emissions from European aviation have almost returned to the levels seen in 2019, with flights within Europe even exceeding these, says a study by Transport & Environment. More than 8.4 million flights departed from European airports in 2024, generating 187.6 megaton of CO2, with Ryanair, Lufthansa and British Airways the top polluters. Intercontinental flights generated the highest emissions, but these aren't currently priced under the EU, Swiss or UK carbon markets. T&E warns that this shows cracks in the aviation climate legislations, as airline CEOs call on the EU to weaken the rules for carbon pricing. The EU is set to review its Emissions Trading System next year.Full press release follows:...
