If emissions reductions from the use of CORSIA eligible fuel are claimed, see Table 2 for supplementary information that is to be provided with the aeroplane operator’s Emissions Report.

(6)

During the 2019-2020 period, field 12 is not required as there are no offsetting requirements and no emissions reductions from the use of CORSIA eligible fuels during the 2019-2020 period.

(7)

During the 2019-2020 period, only point (a) under field 13 is required.
