These projects are designed to meet local air carriers' emission offsetting requirements.
Enhanced cooperation between civil aviation regulatory agencies in Europe and Southeast Asia is also crucial for ensuring aviation safety and sustainability while boosting resilience against regional disruptions, according to the DOTr.
