Compliance with international regulation is a must for every airline. Under CORSIA, with effect from 1 January 2019 operators, including those registered in states that have not volunteered for CORSIA, with annual CO2 emissions greater than 10,000 tonnes will have to report CO2 emissions annually on all their international flights to their national authority ’administrating authority’. In 2018, operators were asked (by most state authorities) to develop an emissions monitoring plan, detailing the procedures that will be used to monitor fuel use, calculate emissions and manage data.

After the end of each reporting year, operators will have to compile the fuel data in an annual emissions report which will need to be verified by a verification body before submission to the administrating authority. Our CORSIA Compliance Health- Check is mainly designed for aeroplane operators but is also helpful for regulators. The main objective is to assess the degree of readiness for emissions reporting for each participant so that complying with the CORSIA reporting requirements will cause the least disruption.

The Compliance-Check not only helps airlines new to CORSIA emission reporting and MRV, but also airlines faced by EU- ETS will benefit. Initially we explain how to comply with CORSIA SARPS reporting and how to set up a reporting system. We also review existing flight data and explain how the same source data and similar processes can be used to create emissions reports for both CORSIA & EU-ETS. The time is now, to assess whether your organization is ready to record CORSIA flight and emissions data. If corrections are to be made, the Health-Check provides a Gap Report listing the areas and processes to be modified or adapted for full Emissions Reporting compliance.
