Why CORSIA Matters
15 September 2025
Dear All,
CORSIA—the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation—will be in the spotlight when the 42nd Assembly of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) gets underway later this month. In this blog Marie Owens Thomsen, IATA Senior Vice President Sustainability & Chief Economist, highlights the critical importance of CORSIA to help decarbonize the air transport industry. While it was created and endorsed by Member States at the 2016 Assembly as the sole economic measure to mitigate the impact of international flying, it requires their continued support to make it a success.

“Taking advantage of CORSIA to create a win-win-win-win situation should be a no-brainer: it helps countries generate much-needed climate finance, it channels airline decarbonization efforts into certifiable emission reductions, it helps countries with their commitments under the Paris Agreement, and contributes to improved socio-economic outcomes for all involved.”
