European airline emissions are projected to reach 195.2 million tonnes in 2023, surpassing pre-pandemic levels by 4%, indicating challenges in decarbonisation as the industry seeks leniency from EU green regulations. Airlines, including Ryanair and Lufthansa, argue that the required increase in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production is unfeasible and have called for easing carbon pricing schemes. The EU acknowledges the need for action to meet climate commitments, emphasizing that the aviation sector must contribute more to reducing emissions.
