The UK Government publishes the number of free allowances for each aircraft operator

Following the European Commission's publication on 26 September 2011 of the benchmark values, which will be used to calculate the free allocation of allowances for aviation operators up to 2020, the UK Department of Energy & Climate Change (DECC) published the levels of free allocation its regulated EU ETS aviation operators will receive in 2012 and for the period 2013-2020.

The allocations have been calculated by applying the European Commission published benchmark values to the 2010 tonne-kilometre data submitted by operators. We strongly recommend each operator to double check the calculations to make sure no error has been made.
