Soooooooooooo. Nobody seems to care about the EU airliners paying for CO2 emission taxes in 4 years. Isn't that even worse than oil price being sky high?
Eikido
It's a myth, it will never happen.
They are trying it now in AMS, and many many airlines are pulling out of there. Even El Al is considering moving its decades long (and corrupt) cargo operation down south to LGG.
If it happens, aviation will be discriminated compared with other industries. It will negatively impact some countries that rely alot on aviation and tourism and tthose countries will veto against it.
The EU is getting too much power anyways.
Some countries are about to do something about that...
