For the reporting years from 2013 on, those aircraft operators who operate fewer than 243 flights per period in three consecutive four-month periods within one year and those aircraft operators who operate flights with total annual emissions less than 25,000 tonnes of CO2 per year can use a simplified procedure (see Article 55 Monitoring Regulation).
For the purpose of verifying whether an aircraft operator is above or below one of these two relevant thresholds, the fundamental geographical scope of the Emissions Trading Directive ("full scope") is relevant and not the reduced geographical scope.
In addition, for the reporting years starting in 2017, aircraft operators operating flights with total annual emissions of less than 3,000 tonnes of CO2 per year relative to the reduced geographical scope can now also use a simplified procedure (Article 28a, paragraph 4 Emissions Trading Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC (as of 5 June 2023).
Furthermore, to determine the number of flights performed and the amount of annual emissions, all flights that do not fall under an exemption pursuant to Annex 1 Part 2 Number 33 (including those free of charge) but have been conducted by an aircraft operator must be taken into account.
