Source: IATA The International Air Transport Association (IATA) expresses serious concern over the Peruvian Government’s lack of decision to negotiate the elimination of the Unified Airport Usage Fee (TUUA) for international transit passengers at Lima’s Jorge Chávez International Airport (AIJC). Since 7 December, the concessionaire Lima Airport Partners (LAP) has been charging USD 11.88 per passenger, a measure that increases travel costs by 3% to 7%, leading to a reduction in transit demand of up to 11%, thus jeopardizing more than 1,000 annual flights. This is not a minor technical adjustment, it is a policy decision with profound implications for Peru’s aviation future, its competitiveness as a regional hub, and the livelihoods of thousands of Peruvians.

Source: ICAO Governments will soon inform airlines of their first ever requirements under the International Civil Aviation Organization's (ICAO) Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA), following ICAO's publication of a new calculation announced today. Carbon neutral growth is the primary objective of CORSIA and as of today, it is resulting in specific, actionable obligations for airlines. ICAO has calculated the growth of international aviation for 2024, enabling governments to determine the amount of CO₂ that each airline needs to offset to ensure that this growth is carbon neutral. This is done in compliance with the relevant requirements of the 1944 Convention on International Civil Aviation (the Convention). Transparency is central to the CORSIA approach. In accordance with [...]
