A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oag.com\/coronavirus-airline-schedules-data\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">70% reduction in scheduled flights<\/a> year over year has led most of the world\u2019s airlines to the brink of solvency virtually overnight.<\/p>\n<p>Now, governments are mobilising to bail them out.<\/p>\n<p>The US coronavirus relief act (Cares Act) directed $50 billion to keep US carriers afloat through September 2020. France recently announced a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/reuters\/2020\/04\/29\/world\/europe\/29reuters-health-coronavirus-france-economy.html?smid=tw-share\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u20ac7 billion bailout of Air France<\/a> with some environmental conditions, including that the airline cut its carbon intensity by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.environmentalleader.com\/2019\/10\/air-france-carbon-emissions-offsets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">10% from today\u2019s levels in 2030<\/a>, halve CO2 emissions from flights within mainland France, and use at least 2% of alternative jet fuel by 2025.<\/p>\n<p>And civil society is mobilising to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/transenv\/status\/1255744856518991873\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">track the bailouts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2020\/04\/06\/airlines-urge-un-body-ease-climate-goals-2020s-traffic-collapses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Airlines<\/strong> urge UN body to ease climate goals for 2020s as traffic collapses<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Covid-19 pandemic, with more than <a href=\"https:\/\/coronavirus.jhu.edu\/map.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">3.5 million tracked infections and a quarter of a million deaths worldwide<\/a>, has not only had a terrible impact on public health and hammered the global economy. It has also highlighted that governments, with few exceptions, will always intervene to rescue their airlines.<\/p>\n<p>If that is going to be the case, let\u2019s ensure the bailouts can help airlines reboot toward sustainability, rather than return to a past at odds with our climate responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>What might a \u201cgreen\u201d airline bailout look like? Here are five key strategies:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Accelerate the retirement of excess, carbon intensive capital stocks<\/li>\n<li>Catalyse new investments in low and zero carbon technologies<\/li>\n<li>Build durable funding mechanisms to support continued investments<\/li>\n<li>Limit future emissions growth through meaningful targets<\/li>\n<li>Empower consumers to demand sustainable flying options<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Let\u2019s consider each of these in turn.<\/p>\n<p>The traffic boom of the past decade, combined with the sudden evaporation of demand under Covid-19, leaves behind extra aircraft that will not be used for the foreseeable future.\u00a0 Some of those are already being <a href=\"http:\/\/news.aa.com\/news\/news-details\/2020\/A-fond-farewell-to-five-fantastic-fleets-FLT-04\/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">retired today,<\/a> others will need a push to the scrap heap. A <a href=\"https:\/\/theicct.org\/sites\/default\/files\/publications\/Aircraft_CO2_Standard_US_20181002.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fuel efficiency standard for in-service aircraft<\/a> or scrappage incentives could help take up the slack.<\/p>\n<p>In their place, we\u2019ll need to jumpstart large new investments to mature, develop, and deploy low and zero carbon aircraft and fuels. That calls for an Apollo-style programme for advanced aircraft and engines, truly sustainable biofuels, and synthetic jet fuels generated from renewable electricity.<\/p>\n<p>Ambitious new programmes are needed to mature alternatives to conventional \u201cwing and tube\u201d aircraft as well as hybrid, electric, and hydrogen powered aircraft. Support should also go to \u201cdrop in\u201d alternative fuels generated from wastes, cellulosic feedstocks, and renewable electricity. These fuels should provide at least a 70% lifecycle reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional jet.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Climate news in your inbox?<strong>\u00a0Sign up\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/newsletter-sign-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Governments can lead but can\u2019t shoulder all of the expense \u2013 we\u2019ll need durable, industry funded mechanisms for continued investments. Those could come from a fuel levy, emissions trading, or carbon tax on airlines with revenue earmarked for research and development (R&amp;D).<\/p>\n<p>Another approach attracting attention in the UK in particular is for a frequent flyer levy, as championed by <a href=\"http:\/\/afreeride.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A Free Ride campaign<\/a> . This could generate funds for R&amp;D from the most frequent fliers, and also provide public health benefits by curbing excessive, high frequency flights that increase the risk of global pandemics.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll also need ambitious but achievable emission limits to backstop these investments.<\/p>\n<p>Airlines have already agreed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icao.int\/environmental-protection\/CORSIA\/Pages\/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">offset most growth<\/a> in international CO2 from 2020. This could be expanded to include domestic aviation and to transition away from offsets, which are incompatible with long-term decarbonisation.<\/p>\n<p>Because low carbon aviation technologies will need decades to mature, capping aviation emissions now means balancing future traffic growth with improvements in fuel efficiency. As a point of context, between 2013 and 2018, airline traffic in the US grew three times faster than fuel efficiency improved. Global traffic grew <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rutherdan\/status\/1205305500260171777\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">six times faster<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2020\/05\/01\/no-silver-lining-golden-opportunity-build-back-better\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>No silver lining<\/strong> to coronavirus, but a golden opportunity<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Finally, we need to empower consumers to reward more sustainable carriers by addressing a persistent lack of transparency in airline emissions.<\/p>\n<p>Consumers should be able to vote with their money to support lower emitting airlines. Most people aren\u2019t aware that the carbon intensity of flights linking the same city-city pair can vary by more than 80%. Mandatory reporting of emissions by flight would help environmentally conscious consumers choose more fuel-efficient flights while providing needed market pull for the technologies discussed above.<\/p>\n<p>Success is by no means guaranteed, and a rush to define terms can lead to unintended consequences. For example, under the US Cares Act, airlines are operating large numbers of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/coronavirus-airlines-bailout-empty-flights-requirement-2020-4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ghost flights<\/a>\u201d in part due to requirements that they maintain minimum air service levels to underserviced airports.<\/p>\n<p>There will also be a strong headwind to investments in new aircraft and clean fuels now that fossil jet fuel prices have fallen by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airlines.org\/argus-us-jet-fuel-index\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">two thirds since February<\/a>. But, like it or not, Covid-19 is forcing a reboot of the aviation industry. Let\u2019s make it a lasting one that works for the planet as well.<\/p>\n<p><em>Dan Rutherford is the aviation director at the International Council on Clean Transportation.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The pandemic has exposed the vulnerability of airlines to disruption, forcing a reboot of the sector.
