Individuals then surrender these allowances when booking flights. Individuals wanting or needing to travel more than permitted by their initial allocation would be able to purchase additional allowances from those flying less or not at all, rewarding those individuals.<br /> }}{{Introductory subsection<br /> |title=Context<br /> |content=Decarbonisation of aviation can't be achieved early enough to meet climate objectives without a reduction of air traffic.<br /> }}{{Introductory subsection<br /> |title=System scope<br /> |content=* Ideally, the system would be applicable to all European citizens.<br /> * The system would be applicable to all commercial flights departing from or arriving in an European country.<br /> * People traveling for professional purposes would need to buy allowances.<br /> * Non European citizens would have to purchase allowances when they fly to Europe when they buy the ticket in the EU.<br /> }}{{Introductory subsection<br /> |title=Details of the mechanism<br /> |content=* For the first year, 500 Ͼ (aircraft carbon allowances) would be distributed to each European adult. <br /> * Allowances would be valid for on year.<br /> * Individuals willing to fly further than the distance allowed would be able to borrow allowances (spend their future allowances in advance).<br /> * The number of allowances would be reduced every year by 6%.<br /> * Minors would receive less allowances than adults.<br /> * Offsets would not be counted as a CO2 reduction<br /> * So called SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuels) would not be entitled to reduce the carbon footprint of a flight.<br /> * There would be a market of unused allowances. Their price will vary according to supply and demand.<br /> }}{{Introductory subsection<br /> |title=System management<br /> |content=The allowances would be administered by national independant carbon agencies.<br /> }}{{Introductory subsection<br /> |title=Promoters<br /> |content=Air Quotas is promoted by a network of French associations, as a test for a more comprehensive system that would ration all carbon containing goods and services.<br /> }}<br /> |wikipedia-articles={{Wikipedia article<br /> |page=Personal carbon trading<br /> }}<br /> |pro-arguments={{Pro argument<br /> |page=The Air Quotas mechanism ensures that traffic cap targets are met<br /> |displayed-title=Ensures that traffic cap targets are met<br /> }}{{Pro argument<br /> |page=The Air Quotas mechanism allows flexibility<br /> |displayed-title=Allows flexibility to exceed allowances<br /> }}{{Pro argument<br /> |page=The Air Quotas mechanism rewards those who fly less than their quota<br /> |displayed-title=Rewards those who fly less than their quota<br /> }}{{Pro argument<br /> |page=Air Quotas incentivise airlines to reduce their CO2 emissions<br /> |displayed-title=Incentivises airlines to reduce their CO2 emissions<br /> }}{{Pro argument<br /> |page=Air Quotas develop environmental awareness<br /> |displayed-title=Develops environmental awareness<br /> }}{{Pro argument<br /> |page=The Air Quotas system could be extended to all carbon products and services<br /> |displayed-title=Could be extended to all carbon products and services<br /> }}{{Pro argument<br /> |page=The alternative solution ‘Control through prices’ (taxes) is not effective<br /> |displayed-title=More effective than taxes<br /> }}{{Pro argument<br /> |page=The alternative solution to Air Quotas of capping traffic (at EU, national or airport level) has many cons<br /> |displayed-title=Better than capping traffic<br /> }}<br /> |con-arguments={{Con argument<br /> |page=Air Quotas restrict freedom to travel<br /> |displayed-title=Restricts freedom to travel<br /> }}{{Con argument<br /> |page=Air Quotas allow wealthy frequent flyers to keep on flying<br /> |displayed-title=Allows wealthy frequent flyers to keep on flying<br /> }}{{Con argument<br /> |page=Air Quotas may create a desire to fly<br /> |displayed-title=May create a desire to fly<br /> }}{{Con argument<br /> |page=The Air Quotas system cannot account for all the flights of an individual unless it is global<br /> |displayed-title=Cannot account for all the flights of an individual unless the system is global<br /> }}{{Con argument<br /> |page=The Air Quotas system is complex<br /> |displayed-title=Complex<br /> }}{{Con argument<br /> |page=Prone to fraud<br /> |displayed-title=Prone to fraud<br /> }}{{Con argument<br /> |page=The Air Quotas system requires collecting confidential personal data<br /> |displayed-title=Requires collecting confidential personal data<br /> }}<br /> |pro-bibliography={{Pro bibliographical reference<br /> |authors=Pierre-Henri Bono, Alain Trannoy<br /> |article=Le Mécanisme Troc Carbone Avion (TCA)<br /> |work=Revue d'économie politique<br /> |volume=134<br /> |number=2024/4<br /> |link=https://doi.org/10.3917/redp.344.0553<br /> }}<br /> |pro-webliography={{Pro web reference<br /> |link=https://air-quotas.eu/<br /> |page=Official website<br /> |site=Air Quotas<br /> }}<br /> |sections=Ecology, Economy<br /> |keywords=aviation, climate<br /> }}</div>
