“…Besides general fi nancial consequences, revenue and cost effects of the ETS system may affect competition structures within the industry. Since major EU competitors of the Lufthansa Group such as British Airways or Air France/KLM are affected similarly, we assume that the ETS system will not instigate major route reconfi gurations among European airlines, supporting results of earlier studies (Wit et al, 2005;Albers et al, 2009). The equal application of the ETS system to EU carriers, however, does not take into account three other aspects: (1) competition with other modes of transport, particularly on short-haul routes, (2) potential cross-subsidies of fl ight routes with non-EU carriers; and (3) competitive advantages of non-EU carriers due to artifi cial stops or completely redirected international traffi c fl ows:…”

Commencing in 2012, emissions from fl ights departing from or arriving at airports within the European Union (EU) will be covered under the EU emissions trading scheme (ETS). This research analyzes the fi nancial and ecological impacts of the ETS for the Lufthansa Group using a simulation model built on the now-fi xed system design. The results show that while ecological impacts are modest in the fi rst years after introduction, the ETS will result in much higher emission reductions in the medium and long term. These ecological benefi ts come at the expense of increased fi nancial impacts. This paper argues that the ETS will have a variety of managerial implications at the company level in fi elds such as environmental monitoring, fi nancial risk management and marketing.

“…For example, cost increases for US airlines transporting passengers to non-EU destinations via the EU relative to airlines that bypass the EU. This argument has been widely voiced by the EU aviation industry, but Albers et al (2009) conclude that competitive distortions due to the EU-ETS will be small.…”

“…Under the regime, airlines would be given an initial set of free allowances. They would only be allowed to pollute above their quota if they purchased additional allowances from other airlines or industrial sectors which had not used their full allocation (Albers et al, 2009). Using this mechanism, the EU hopes to be able to stabilise carbon emissions.…”

Structured AbstractPurpose: To examine the relationship between aviation and climate change, and the international dimensions of air transport, Methodology/approach: An examination of aviation's impacts on the global climate, mitigation strategies to lessen aviation's climate change impact and on the possible consequences of climate change for commercial aviation.Findings: Although a range of mitigation measures have been developed and implemented to reduce aircraft emissions in the short-term, with some environmental benefit, there is a real need for the aviation sector to identify the possible impacts of climate change on air travel operations, including both aircraft in flight and operations at airports. A further challenge will be to devise plans that will address the vulnerabilities and thus ensure safe aviation-related operations.Social implications: The climate change impacts of aviation will adversely affect society. In addition, some individuals may have to reduce or stop flying as a result of increased taxes and legislation implemented in response to climate change. Originality/value of paper: There is a novel focus on the adaptation challenges for the aviation industry in response to climate change.
