Can aircraft operators and third parties display similar flight emission values to the FEL?
Can reports for EU ETS, CORSIA and ReFuelEU be used to report for the FEL?
Have existing ICAO standards been taken into consideration? As these have been approved by 192 member states, are we risking duplication?
Will the Flight Emissions Label be used for cargo flights?
Will there be an option for aircraft operators to exit the scheme once enrolled?
How would wet lease operations be accounted for? The leasing airline usually has no operational control over fuel consumption of the leased aircraft.
If an airline is able to improve its emissions performance during the label validity, will they still be required to display their existing label score?
Will labels only be provided for direct flights or will routes with stopovers be included? Or would 2 labels be required for stopovers?

Labels are applied to single flights and should not be combined in the display at the point of purchase.

Label metrics are both per passenger (footprint) and per passenger kilometer (efficiency). Footprints for multiple flights can hypothetically "stack" for a total trip footprint including multiple flights (excluding hub of ground transport emissions). Efficiency does not stack and would require the total footprint to be divided by the distance between the original departure airport and the final arrival airport. Benchmarks to support such communications are under development.
