Dear
,
Please find attached the summary of the meeting:
- Labor shortage
o Most of the airport employees in the US were kept during COVID
o Still some staff shortages
o Suggestion to fast track the employment process, but not to compromise security
o Airport might need to adapt and streamline the security control procedures for
passengers (e.g. at Washington airport passengers just need to scan their driving
license to fly domestically)
- COVID restriction
o Pre departure testing still mandatory, but there is push to get rid of it (so far the
US Gov. seem to want to keep it)
o It only applies to aviation, but not to lend border crossings into US
o Suggestion to use the science and data behind the decision in the EU to fully lift all
restrictions as an example
- Sustainability
o US aviation industry has the ambition to reach net zero by 2050
o To use 3bn gallons of SAF by 2030
o PPP model would be crucial in reaching the SAF production required to achieve
targets
o US aviation industry does not want mandates, but rather voluntary targets
§ Mandates does not work if there’s no SAF supply, therefore production
needs to be incentivized at all levels in the US
o Measures to reach 2050 targets above mentioned
§ Increase SAF intake
§ Higher airport efficiency in order to reduce fuel consumption (for taxi and
other operations )
§ Adoption of new technologies (after 2035 a significant impact is expected)
- ETS
o CORSIA was the right signal for the industry, therefore not very much in favor of
ETS
- Info about CO2 emissions on tickets for each trip
o Some airlines in the US are doing it already
o Calculation methodology needs to be standardized in order to be relevant
o Needs to be applied to other industries (e.g. hotels), not just transport
Feel free to add or modify anything.
Could you, please, write the name of the participants? I don’t have the list.
Best,

Dear

Could I possibly ask you to do a very short summary of this morning’s meeting with A4A for
transparency register?
No details, just the main points discussed.
Super big thank you!
KR,
