T&E asks the European Commission and member states to introduce the following measures:

Stop fueling growth of traffic by ending infrastructure expansion

Allowing a fossil dependent sector to continue expanding, by building new airport terminals and increasing capacity is incompatible with the EU’s climate objectives.

Remove unfair fossil fuel subsidies

The EU and member states should continue to remove unfair subsidies to the aviation sector, by fully pricing emissions and taxing fuel on flights departing from EU territory.

Focus on scaling truly sustainable technologies

The EU should use part of the revenues to support the scale up of truly sustainable fuels like e-kerosene.

Maximise European rail climate potential

Unlocking competition, improving ticketing and ensuring a proper implementation of the Trans-European Transport Network will enhance rail services, helping trains to better compete with planes in Europe.
