The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has called on governments to issue letters of authorisation (LoA) to enable the release of Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) eligible emissions units (EEU) for purchase by airlines. "To unlock CORSIA’s climate finance potential and ensure its contribution to aviation’s decarbonization, states must authorize the release of EEUs," IATA assistant director of climate policy, Yue Huang, said during the International Civil Aviation Organisation’s 42nd assembly in Montreal. "That is one of our top messages to the 193 member states at the ICAO Assembly."
