(24a) The aviation sector, particularly airports, connect the Union with the rest of the world. However, aircraft operators established in a Member State and major European connecting airports – or hubs – are exposed to strong international competition, particularly in the Union’s neighbourhood. This competition from outside Europe, which has been compounded by the cumulative effects of the EU climate package on Union players, calls for corrective measures to be taken to keep the European aviation sector competitive, to maintain the Union’s connectivity, and to combat carbon leakage and unfair competition, to the benefit of the climate and the European economy. The gradual end to free allocation of emission allowances on flights inside Europe will significantly increase the cost of travelling via Europe and undermine the competitiveness of EU-based companies and connecting airports, to the sole benefit of less environmentally friendly non-EU players, leading to significant carbon leakage as a result of a crowding-out effect. Emission allowances for flights inside Europe to and from a connecting airport in the Union shall continue to be allocated free of charge with a view to tackling carbon leakage, preserving EU connectivity and ensuring fair and equitable competition.

(25) Special consideration should be given to promotingthe accessibility ofor the outermost regions of the Union. Therefore, a derogation from the EU ETS should be pro and to providing the best possible territorial continuity with them. From the entry into force of the revidsed forDirective 2003/87/EC, an exemption shall apply to emissions from flights betweento and from an aerodrome located in an outermost region of a Member State, as defined in Articles 349 and 355 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and an aerodrome located in the same Member State.

(da) the following paragraph is inserted: (3a) The additional revenue generated by auctioning allowances to aircraft operators shall be used, as soon as the revised Directive 2003/87/EC enters into force, to bring about a rapid and efficient transition for the aviation sector. All or part of the additional revenue shall be allocated to the EU Innovation Fund, as part of which an aviation programme must be set up with the aim of stimulating research and development, scaling up production and the use of sustainable aviation fuels and synthetic fuels, and fostering technological disruption in the aviation sector.
