MEBA10: Universal aims to clean up at MEBA

Universal Weather and Aviation has announced that it will start to offer European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU-ETS) reporting services in time for operators to comply with the March 31, 2011 deadline to submit their verified 2010 emissions data.

CICS, one of the world’s few independent emissions reporting analysts, will provide third-party verification.

Randy Stephens, UV’s division vice president, product management and specialty services, said his company had received many requests from clients to develop such a facility since the mandatory reporting is expensive, time consuming and has to comply with strict parameters. He added that this would “make compliance with EU-ETS as painless and cost-efficient as possible”.

Universal is able to streamline the reporting process by leveraging existing historical flight planning data it has from clients’ trips into EU member states. This will then be accessible online. Customers will also be able to upload their own data and run customisable reports based on their own criteria, which they can submit to their own third-party verifier if required.
