Stricter regulations from 2025

EU climate policy makes flying more expensive again

The EU's ambitious climate policy will have a major impact on aviation. From 2025, airlines will have to pay more for their CO2 emissions and add sustainable fuel to their kerosene. This will not only make tickets more expensive for passengers, it will also be a disadvantage for airports within the EU.

From next year, aviation will have to pay for 100 percent of its CO₂ emissions, as emissions trading will be tightened. In Germany, for example, Lufthansa has already announced that it will charge a fee on tickets from 2025 to cover the additional costs.
