CORSIA

KYC, Sanctions and Counterparty Risk in Aviation Carbon Markets

CORSIA eligibility does not replace ordinary counterparty diligence. Airlines can still face fraud, sanctions, payment and title risk when purchasing through brokers or secondary sellers.

CORSIA

Positioning and Ferry Flights Under CORSIA

A positioning or ferry flight is not automatically exempt because it carries no passengers or cargo. Operators should classify the actual international civil flight under the applicable rules.

CORSIA

Aircraft Lessors Do Not Inherit CORSIA Just by Owning the Aircraft

Aircraft ownership and CORSIA operator attribution are different concepts. A lessor may own the asset while the lessee or wet-lease operator carries the reporting obligation.

CORSIA

Charter Broker or Aircraft Operator? CORSIA Follows the Operator

A charter broker can arrange a flight without operating the aircraft. The operating carrier's identity is therefore central to any CORSIA statement made to the customer.

CORSIA

Private Aviation and CORSIA: When Business Jet Operators Enter the System

Business aviation is not automatically outside CORSIA. International civil operations can enter MRV scope when the aircraft and operator exceed the applicable thresholds.

CORSIA

Cargo Airlines Under CORSIA: Freight Networks Still Count

CORSIA applies to qualifying international civil aviation, not passenger transport alone. Cargo airlines need the same operator, fuel-data and eligible-unit controls as passenger carriers.

CORSIA

Codeshare Flights and CORSIA: Follow the Operating Carrier

A marketing airline can sell a flight without operating it. CORSIA data systems should distinguish commercial flight numbers from the operator responsible for the actual flight.

CORSIA

Lower Carbon Aviation Fuel Has a Place in CORSIA

CORSIA lower carbon aviation fuel is fossil-based fuel that meets ICAO sustainability criteria and can reduce the offsetting requirement when its life-cycle performance qualifies.

CORSIA

From Fuel Batch to CORSIA Claim: The SAF Evidence Chain

A SAF purchase becomes a CORSIA reduction only when the operator can support the certified batch, quantity, life-cycle value and chain of custody.

CORSIA

CORSIA Eligible Fuels: Using SAF and LCAF to Cut Offset Demand

Verified emissions reductions from CORSIA eligible fuels can reduce an operator's offsetting requirement before eligible emissions units are cancelled.

CORSIA

Training and Maintenance Flights Still Matter to CORSIA

International training and maintenance flights should not disappear from emissions systems merely because they do not carry revenue passengers.

CORSIA

Search and Rescue Flights Need a CORSIA Classification Test

Search and rescue is not named as a blanket CORSIA exemption. A SAR flight may be excluded only when it falls within an applicable exempt category.
