Action Allegedly Aligns US Standards With International Standards

Quite recently, the EPA finalized emissions standards for airplanes used in commercial aviation and large business jets. This action would allegedly align US standards with the international CO2 emissions standards set by ICAO, 'ensuring domestically manufactured aircraft remain competitive' in the global marketplace.

Boeing, obviously, is affected greatly by all this and published the obligatory support statement...

“We are proud that the EPA took this step to finalize the ICAO CO2 standard for aircraft emissions. This is vital for protecting the environment and supporting the sustainable growth of commercial aviation and the United States economy. The EPA’s standard will help tackle climate change and ensure that Boeing products will meet the same requirements as our competitors around the world. The standard is one of the essential pillars of the industry’s strategy to cut net global aviation emissions to half of what they were in 2005 by 2050. Aviation is one of only two industrial sectors that has adopted global CO2 goals, underscoring our steadfast commitment to our communities and the planet.”

Boeing, of course, is a leading provider of commercial airplanes, defense, space and security systems, and global services. As the top US exporter, the company supports commercial and government customers in more than 150 countries and leverages the talents of a global supplier base.
