EASA and IATA have signed a memorandum of understanding to explore aligning the European Union Flight Emissions Label with IATA’s EcoHub and CO2 Connect calculator. The agreement aims to harmonise emissions metrics and data flows, providing passengers and airlines with a more transparent, consistent view of flight CO2 performance.

Briefing
Harmonising the EU label with IATA’s EcoHub and CO2 Connect creates a single, comparable passenger-facing emissions metric and standardised data flows, reinforcing industry-wide reporting and consumer transparency; it dovetails with IATA’s broader policy engagement at the ICAO Assembly (https://hype.aero/?story=f4e2abba-f61e-4b30-84ea-676c788fa712).
The MoU sits squarely inside tightening EU climate policy — including the bloc’s minimum 2% SAF uplift mandate for departing flights (https://hype.aero/?story=34a1e882-ddbc-45dd-9260-a5a45c71e5cf) — and follows EASA’s ReFuelEU report that found SAF accounted for just 0.6% of fuel uplifted at EU airports (https://hype.aero/?story=a003c5e2-2dc5-4c5e-81cc-59ed18a3d7aa).
Standardised emissions data will affect airline disclosures, product comparisons and commercial choices, and intersects with current concerns over SAF supply and pricing raised by IATA (https://hype.aero/?story=940bc5a0-17e5-410e-91a4-b183cb9a6a34).
