UK Proposes Mandatory Carbon Impact Disclosure for Airline Passengers

New policy aims to provide transparent environmental data to help consumers make informed travel choices.

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has launched a consultation on requiring airlines to disclose the carbon impact of flights.
If approved, the policy would mandate standardised carbon data presentation on booking platforms by early 2025.
The initiative seeks to enhance transparency and sustainability in the aviation industry.
Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is highlighted as a key component in reducing aviation's carbon footprint.
The UK plans to have at least five commercial SAF plants under construction by the end of 2025.
