Abstract: To limit air transport's climate relevant emissions, two important CO2 trading schemes for aviation are in force, or will be in the future: The EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) for aviation, which was introduced in 2012, and the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) as agreed at International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) level in October 2016. The authors analyze and compare both schemes from an environmental and competition perspective. Also, options for proceeding with the EU ETS are discussed.
