    \nDGCA said all operators flying on international routes have to capture their fuel consumption and carbon emission data annually from January 1, 2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA), is an emission mitigation approach for the global airline industry, developed by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. CORSIA addresses emissions from international air travel<\/span>.<\/span><\/li>\n
      3. The CORSIA is part of an effort from the ICAO to halve carbon emissions by 2050, compared with 2005 levels.<\/span><\/li>\n
      4. CORSIA aims to address any annual increase in total carbon dioxide emissions from international civil aviation in order to avoid the impact of any unusual fluctuations in air traffic in 2020 levels.<\/span><\/li>\n
