From 2005 to 2019, the full flight carbon dioxide emission level in the European Union increased significantly from 110 to 147 million metric tons. In the following years, CO2 emission decreased dramatically due to the coronavirus pandemic since airlines' operations were disrupted by the mitigation policies set by the governments. In 2021, the full flight CO2 emission level in the European Union was just 65 million metric tons, a 56 percent less than the 2019 level.
