U.S. EPA finalizing first-ever airplane emissions rules

This post was originally published on this site

The EPA said in July its proposed requirements would align the United States with international standards. In 2016, the U.N. International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) agreed on global airplane emissions standards aimed at makers of small and large planes, including Airbus SE (OTC:EADSY) and Boeing (NYSE:BA) Co, which both have backed the standards. Critics say the agency should have required tougher emissions rules.
