Ministry of Transport will take measures against increase of ticket prices connected with EU quotes

Igor Levitin, Russia’s minister for transportation

Ministry of Transport of Russia is working on proposals aimed at prevention of ticket prices increase connected with implementation of EU greenhouse gases emission quotes, RIA Novosti reports. It has been declared by Igor Levitin.

European Union has implemented the fees for greenhouse emissions since January 1st 2012 in the network of antipollution. All the airlines, performing flights to EU, will have to acquire quotes for 15% of emission of the basic 2010 year and the rest 85% they will get for free. About 4000 carriers from different countries will have to obey these rules.

"We are working on proposals aimed at prevention of ticket prices increase connected with implementation of EU greenhouse gases emission quotes", - said Levitin.

The Belgian carrier, Brussels Airlines, have increased the ticket prices earlier in accordance with the initiative of its main shareholder – Lufthansa, thus shifting the “CO2 tax” payments to the passengers.

According to Levitin, Russia should not implement the unilateral measures as EU did.

The US Congress will consider the statutory bar, preventing the US airlines from taking part in the European system of emission trading in March.

Russian Ministry of Transport has also offered to legislate against paying for the greenhouse emission quotes earlier.

  Light combat Yak-130M
  The presentation of the Ya-130M aircraft took place at the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", which was held from August 12 to 14, 2024 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. It should be noted right away that this is not just the modernization of the Yak-130 aircraft, but the transformation of a combat training aircraft into a full-fledged light combat aircraft. In the information field, this event was marked by a number of brief reports from federal news agencies. But the project, like the Yak-130 aircraft with its unique flight characteristics, deserves a more detailed review, which we decided to do.
