NBAA Issues Call To Action On EU-ETS Legislation

Bill Introduced In The U.S. Senate Opposes American Participation

As the business aviation community grapples with a new European tax on aircraft emissions, the NBAA is asking its members to call on their U.S. Senators to take action on the issue. The new tax is called the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU-ETS), and it would tax emissions for any flight to Europe from its point of origin – not just the portion of the flight in European airspace.

A bill has recently been introduced in the U.S. Senate that would prohibit operators of all U.S. aircraft from participating in the EU-ETS, and orders the Federal Aviation Administration to do everything possible to ensure flight operators are not penalized by the program. The Senate bill, called the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme Prohibition Act of 2011, is similar to legislation passed by the House of Representatives last year.

NBAA has set up an online resource to assist members in communicating with the Senate.

  • Visit NBAA's online Contact Congress resource.
  • Select the EU-ETS letter to the Senate.
  • Provide basic address information.
  • Preview the letter that is prepared specifically for you. You can edit your letter if you wish.
  • Submit the letter to your senators.
