I read that EU have decided that all airliners must pay CO2 tax in a few years (am I right?). That will give us a new recession .

Edit. I was right. Starting 2013.

European airlines angered by EU 'CO2 tax'

Quotes.

AEA:
"This decision is going to cost us 4.8 billion euros a year,"

"It all has to be compared with the 3.7 billion euros profit that our companies made in 2007, which was a very good year. And 2008 is looking quite different with the hike in fuel prices,"
