Corona virus blocks air freight
Several airlines have suspended their flights to China. British Airways is currently not flying to China and will reassess the situation on 29 February 2020. Lufthansa, Swiss and Austrian Airlines will fly to China for the last time on 31 January. After that, all flights will be temporarily suspended until 9 February 2020. Cathay Pacific plans to reduce flights to mainland China by up to 50% by the end of March. Further reductions and suspensions of scheduled flights must be expected. This will not only have an impact on passenger transport, but will also lead to a significant reduction in air freight to and from China. Considering that air freight is mainly used for time-sensitive and, in relation to its weight, valuable goods, these restrictions can lead to considerable problems and damage in supply chains.
Emissions trading systems CH - EU
Linking the Swiss Emissions Trading System (ETS) with that of the EU brings both environmental and economic benefits,. From this year onwards, it will enable companies covered by the Swiss ETS to trade emission rights in the larger EU emissions market. As is already the case in the EU, emissions from civil aviation will now also be included in the ETS in Switzerland. The linking of the two Systems is the world's first ETS link between countries.
