| Strong | Fraport AG provides clear details on the specific climate policies it lobbied, naming the EU’s “Fit for 55” package and the Commission’s proposals to “introduce a kerosene tax, tighten emissions trading (ETS), and introduce an increasing blending mandate for sustainable aviation fuels (SAF)”. Together with Lufthansa Group and Munich Airport, it held a “joint press conference in Frankfurt” targeting the “EU Parliament and Council” to align these measures with its objectives. The companies articulated precise outcomes: achieving “effective climate protection while maintaining the competitiveness of European hubs and airlines,” ensuring “equal treatment of airlines and airports within the EU and their non-EU competitors,” and preventing “carbon leakage” and “competitive distortions.” This level of disclosure demonstrates a strong commitment to transparency around the policies and outcomes it seeks, although the description of engagement channels is limited to a single press conference. | 3 |
