‘Great Green Scam’: Airlines To Shift Mandated Net-Zero Costs Onto Passengers

The EU's unrealistic net-zero targets will drive up ticket prices, airline chief warns.

Lufthansa Jumbo JetAirline passengers will foot the costs of almost $3bn (£2.2bn) a year as the EU and UK impose net-zero targets, an industry chief has warned. [emphasis, links added]


Willie Walsh, the chief executive of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), said the soaring cost of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), as well as poor demand, meant passengers faced even higher ticket prices.

Describing the net-zero rules behind the additional costs as “the EU’s great green scam”, Mr Walsh, who was previously chief executive of British Airways, said Brussels had been “unrelenting in its proposals” to ramp up wholly ineffective measures.

Purchases of SAF will cost an extra $1.2bn in 2025 compared with traditional jet fuel, according to the IATA.

It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Costs incurred by businesses are ALWAYS passed on to consumers, it's called profit margin.
