At last discovering that it really will necessitate new low carbon aircrafts in order to land in Europe starting in 2012, at least one airline in the US has just ordered the aircraft it will require to do that.
American Airlines just placed the largest purchase in history for a new fleet of fuel efficient airplanes, according to Green Car Congress. The 460 new planes encounter the EU climate regulations to lower airline carbon emissions.
Back in 2007 the EU passed new rules that all airlines landing in Europe after 2012 have to cut down airline emissions, or pay to foul. Apparently, US firms assumed they could just lobby or lawyer their way around this inconvenient fact, along with Chinese airlines.
The whole US airline industry, including AA itself, represented by The Air Transport Association of America, has had lawyers battle the new law. They argued before the European Court of Justice that baronial the system on foreign companies breaks international aviation and climate change agreements.
American Airlines will take deliveries of this gigantic order beginning in 2013 and going on through 2021. But in around five years, it will have the most fuel-efficient fleet among US airlines. And be eligible to land in Europe.
