	What About Army Aviation?
		Shinseki later acknowledged aviation's exclusion from his plan that October, but defended its absence by noting that transformation was still in the early stages of development.
		Under the aviation transformation strategy, the Army identified a cost of $105 million through 2007 for upgrades to the A and C models.
		Aviation commanders say that, without resorting to such tactics, their units would fail to achieve a C-1 readiness rating.

	House of Commons - Environmental Audit - Third Report
		The aviation White Paper provides for a huge expansion in air traffic from the current level of 180 million passengers per annum (mppa) to 476 mppa by 2030.[8] The latter is very close to DfT's central demand estimate of 500 mppa.[9] Essentially, therefore, the White Paper provides the framework to satisfy future demand.
		We highlighted last year the impact of aviation emissions on global warming in relation to UK domestic emissions and carbon reduction targets, and the scale of the subsidy provided to aviation as a result of the absence of fuel taxes.
		If aviation emissions are simply added to both the baseline and the target, effectively watering it down, the actual level of emissions reductions which could be achieved by 2050 would only be about 35%.[52] Even this assumes that the rest of the UK economy actually achieves the domestic carbon reduction target of 60%.

	AIN Online: ICAO extends jet fuel tax exemption, for now (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)

		While the ICAO Assembly was convened, the European Union’s new transport commissioner, Jacques Barrot, discussed his views on the exemption for aviation fuel during his confirmation hearing before the European Parliament transport committee.

	House of Commons - Environmental Audit - Minutes of Evidence
		BAA rejects policy approaches for aviation which are aimed simply at reducing demand by raising the cost of flying through taxes and charges, the revenue from which simply flows to Government and is not hypothecated to addressing the impacts.
		However, BAA recognises that aviation's climate impact is set to grow, and grow significantly, while a UK economy-wide total reduces in line with the requirements of the earth's global environmental capacity, and that, in line with the precautionary principle, aviation must accept its responsibility to address the climate effects of this growth.
		We believe that action on aviation at an EU level is a priority between the launch of the ETS in January 2005 and the beginning of its second phase in 2008.

		The Seattle region has a long history of aviation research and, not surprisingly, at the OSC I heard from many students who wanted to be aeronautical engineers, pilots, avionics technicians, or astronauts.
		We are not a career and technical school or an academy; we are a theme-based high school that relies on aviation and aerospace to inspire students and prepare them for all that is possible in their lives.

	26/4/2004 -- UK: Calls to control low-cost flights
		The British Airport Authority (BAA) believes any aviation fuel tax will have to be an international one, otherwise UK airlines will have to compete against carriers who can offer lower fares not subject to the duty.
		Under this scheme, to help with the environmental costs caused by civil aviation pollution, by 2008, the industry would pay for other industries, such as the nuclear fuels sector, to reduce their carbon emissions.
		Mr Bulkine says the issue of an aviation fuel tax is not top of the international climate change agenda, because it will have to be confronted at a global level.

		The committee reckons that the UK’s domestic target would not be possible with aviation emissions included: “If aviation emissions increase on the scale predicted by the Department for Transport, the UK’s 60% carbon emission reduction target which the Government set last year will become meaningless and unachievable.
