Malaysia Airlines parent group may consider green tax to offset sustainable fuel costs
The head of Malaysia Airlines' parent company says it may consider a green tax on passengers that could help offset the high costs of sustainable aviation fuel. This comes as airlines worldwide aim to cut carbon emissions while facing expensive and scarce sustainable fuel. Capt. Nasaruddin A. Bakar said on Monday that all options are being considered. Singapore plans to introduce a green aviation tax in 2027.
The International Energy Agency says aviation emissions contribute about 2.5% of global carbon emissions. Sustainable fuel could cut about 65% of the industry's emissions. However, it remains costly and accounts for less than 1% of global jet fuel use.
