Measures

ICAO Action Plan

Switzerland has produced an Action Plan to reduce Swiss aviation’s CO2 emissions as part of a global ICAO initiative.

Sustainable aviation fuels

In order to achieve the climate target of net zero carbon by 2050, international civil aviation is focusing on the use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs).

Economic measures

Examples of market-based measures in aviation include emissions-based fees, emissions trading and CO2 offsetting mechanisms.

Operational measures

Cost pressure means that aircraft are becoming ever more economical and great efforts are made to use fuel as efficiently as possible.

Aircraft technology measures

Aircraft combustion engines generate noise and pollutants. It is possible to reduce both.
