Recital 2 a (new)
(2a) The largest increases in greenhouse gas emissions are expected in the aviation sector, with air traffic levels equivalent to the pre-COVID period, as they are usually not prioritised in national policies. This is why a harmonised legal framework should be put in place at European level to promote the decarbonisation of the airline industry while preserving its competitiveness.

Recital 6 a (new)
Recital 6 a (new)
(6a) To meet its commitment of net zero carbon emissions by 2050, the aviation sector faces a major challenge that requires a comprehensive approach and carbon footprint reductions at all levels, coming from the deployment at a large scale of sustainable fuels to more frugal aircraft in the future, but also a reduction in the environmental footprint on the ground as runway equipment accounts for 4% of an airport's CO2 emissions.

Recital 22
Recital 22
(22) Airports covered by this Regulation should ensure that all the necessary infrastructure is provided for delivery, storage and refuelling of sustainable aviation fuel, so as not to constitute an obstacle with respect to the uptake of such sustainable aviation fuel. If necessary, the Agency should be able to require a Union airport to provide information on the infrastructure available allowing for seamless distribution and refuelling of aircraft operators with sustainable aviation fuels. The role of the Agency should allow airports and airlines to have a common focal point, in the event where technical clarification is necessary on the availability of fuel infrastructure. When electric or hydrogen-powered aircrafts become mature and commercially available, it will be necessary for airports covered by this Regulation to take all necessary measures to facilitate an appropriate infrastructure for hydrogen and electric recharging for aircrafts, in accordance with the respective deployment plan of the national policy framework, as set out in a Regulation on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure.
