Emirates said it faced EUR€130

million (USD$169 million) in extra

costs this year and became the

first major operator to announce

possible surcharges since the

EU scheme took effect on

January 1.

The increases w ill not go into

effect straightaw ay, how ever

costs w ill be included in the

existing fuel surcharge, the

company said.

Under plans to tackle climate

change, airlines touching dow n

or taking off in the 27-nation

European Union and three other

nations must account for their

CO2 emissions as part of an

expansion of the w orld’s largest

carbon market.

Lufthansa increased its fuel

surcharge last month, tw o

w eeks before ETS came into

force. The airline added it has

“no immediate plans” to raise the

fuel surcharge again, but did not

rule out a later increase.

“European operators are now

facing additional costs w hich w ill

make f lying w ithin and via

Europe more expensive for

passengers,” said group board

member Carsten Spohr.

“In the face of intensive

competition, especially of

companies from non-EU

countries w hose production is

subject to emissions trading to

only a small degree, Lufthansa

w ill have to pass on the burden

via ticket prices, as suggested

by the EU,” it said in a statement,

adding this w ould not happen in

the short term.

“If you look at the impact on the

ETS, that only starts kicking in at

the end of the year. It’s very

clear that they’re (airlines)

looking for excuses in more or

less the same w ay as the pow er

companies did w hen the ETS

started,” said Dutch Green

member of the European

Parliament Bas Eickhout.

Analysts say Lufthansa is

among the airlines most affected

by the scheme, along w ith other

European netw ork rivals such as

IAG and Air France-KLM, and

United Continental and Singapore

Airlines.

The United States, China, India

and others have attacked the

scheme on the grounds that it



Read more > infringes their sovereignty and

that the EU should not act alone.

Some have w arned of counter-

measures, f iring talk of the

w orld’s f irst carbon trade w ar.

The EU w ill provide 85% of the

required carbon dioxide

certif icates free of charge in

2012, w hile 15% w ill have to be

purchased by the airlines. In the

2013-20 period, airlines w ill

receive 82% of their allow ances

for free, w ith 3% being reserved

by the EU for new entrants and

fast-grow ing airlines.

Lufthansa calculated that it w ill

need to buy “at least 35% of the

certif icates it needs”, due to the

group’s grow th in recent years.

The carbon credit allocations are

based on average emissions

betw een 2004 and 2006.
