Webinar | Tuesday 19 May | 14:00 CEST
After years of regulatory uncertainty, a reckoning is approaching for international aviation carbon policy.
This summer, the European Union will assess whether ICAO’s Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) remains sufficient as a standalone mechanism for addressing emissions from extra-EEA aviation routes.
The implications are significant.
If the European Commission concludes that CORSIA is adequate, airlines operating extra-EEA routes may retain a lighter compliance burden and gain greater regulatory clarity. If it does not, the EU faces a politically and economically difficult choice: restart broader EU ETS coverage for international aviation and risk renewed diplomatic tensions with trading partners, or accept a weaker emissions outcome.
In this webinar, Veyt’s carbon market specialists will examine how international aviation currently sits between the EU ETS and CORSIA, and what the upcoming review could mean for compliance costs, carbon demand, and market positioning.
The session will unpack the legal, political, and market dynamics shaping the debate, including the “stop the clock” mechanism, Article 11a and Article 28b, the EU’s emerging approach to CORSIA unit-quality criteria, and the wider implications for airlines and carbon markets in H2 2026.
