Climate Policy Engagement Analysis
Climate Policy Engagement Overview: The Korea Civil Aviation Association (KCA) has low engagement with climate policy in South Korea and Europe. KCA supported the global CORSIA offsetting scheme and advocated for tax benefits on SAF in South Korea.
Top-line Messaging on Climate Policy: KCA provided limited top-line messaging on climate policy. In a Global Aviation Industry Trends report published in January 2023, KCA expressed support for the global CORSIA offsetting scheme but did not indicate whether it supported emission reductions aligned with IPCC guidelines.
Engagement with Climate-Related Regulations: KCA appears to have limited engagement with climate-related regulations. In its May 2023 Global Aviation Industry Trends report, KCA supported financial incentives and tax benefits for SAF in South Korea. In the same Global Aviation Industry Trends report, KCA noted that the RefuelEU Aviation policy would impact the South Korean aviation industry but did not clarify the association’s position on the policy.
Positioning on Energy Transition: KCA appears to have limited engagement in the transition to a low-carbon energy mix. In a Global Aviation Trends report published in September 2023, KCA acknowledged the importance of SAF in decarbonizing the aviation industry but did not specify whether it supported increasing the use of SAF.
