All airlines flying within, to and from the EU territory will have to comply with the scheme. Airline Emissions Trading discusses the inclusion of airlines within the EU ETS and the likely consequences for the industry and those economies covered by the scheme, exploring the complex socio-economic and environmental implications. In addition to these impacts, the book also explains the EU ETS policy's nature and design in depth, the theory and history of emissions trading, and gives a short description of the climate impacts caused by air transport. The objective of the book is to demystify the scheme and present only the relevant information, offering an expert opinion on the implications of this significant new policy. Written in an accessible style and providing the reader with a detailed glossary of all technical terms and abbreviations, Airline Emissions Trading is an invaluable guide for airline managers and environmental analysts as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students and researchers.
