"Airlines may have to tell passengers the environmental impact of the flights
they book under new proposals from the UK regulator.
The Civil Aviation Authority said consumers should be able to make more
informed travel choices when booking flights and package holidays.
Passengers would need “accurate, understandable, and accessible” measures, and
would probably be told the carbon impact of their individual flights in terms
of the CO₂ emitted, the CAA said, launching a consultation on the plans at the
Farnborough airshow.
The CAA director of policy, Tim Johnson, said: “Providing consumers with
accessible, transparent and accurate environmental information is essential to
making more informed travel choices.
“Our new proposals aim to standardise this information across all platforms,
enabling passengers to more easily compare the environmental impact of their
flights. This initiative is a significant step towards greater transparency and
improved sustainability in the aviation industry.”
The policy could come into effect from early 2025."
