IATA confront the aviation industry and governments to get an aligned global approach on aviation carbon emissions to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) conference to be held this December in Copenhagen. The government should move further than corrective measures, such as extreme so-called government taxes, to centre on measures that lessen emissions in a globally coordinated effort. Moreover the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) was hand over to handle aviation’s international emissions. The CEO of IATA, Mr Bisignani is expecting a 7.8% drop in global carbon emissions from aviation. In other words 6.0% is looking forward to a drop in capacity and 1.8% which is directly related to our Four Pillar Strategy on Climate Change, especially improvement in technology, operations and infrastructure. Moreover there has been fuel saving in two areas which was noted by IATA.
