Emissions trading begins HAVING BECOME part of the EU's emissions trading scheme in 2012, airlines flying to and from Europe have to reduce their CO2 emissions to 97 per cent of 2004-2006 levels. Airlines are given a number of emissions allowances, and may purchase additional ones as they invest in energy-efficient technologies; funds from sold allowances go towards climate change initiatives. A modern fleet is an efficient way to reduce emissions. Finnair supports a global emissions trading plan that would produce larger-scale results. Schemes confined into geographic regions pose the danger of outside airlines avoiding the emissions trading area, consequently increasing emissions and weakening the competitive position of European airlines. Finnair was one of the first airlines to deliver certified emissions reports of 2010 to the authorities. FEBRUARY 2012
