India may oppose EU threat to fine AI, Jet Airways

India is likely to oppose the reported European Union
threat to impose fines on Air India and Jet Airways for
not accepting EU's emissions trading scheme (EU-ETS) and
not reporting their emissions over European skies,
officials said today. Only these two Indian carriers,
which fly to Europe, are likely to be slapped a total
fine of around Euros 30,000, while eight Chinese carriers
could face fines totalling Euros 2.4 million euros, they
said.

Refusing to be cowed down to the EU threat, the
officials, requesting anonymity, said the two Indian
carriers operate a total of about 5-6 flights a day,
while their European counterparts together operated 30-40
daily flights to India. On top of this, several European
carriers overfly India for which they require permission.
