Taxing Air Cargo

In a plea for reason, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) is calling upon world governments to abandon punitive environmental taxes in favor of a more balanced — and effective — approach to cutting carbon emissions. IATA’s four-pillar strategy focuses on technology investment, efficient operations and infrastructure, and positive economic measures. According to IATA, this is a comprehensive solution based on business realities, and designed to circumvent "green grandstanding" currently in vogue with our politicians.
