Campaign group Transport & Environment on Friday urged the European Union to rethink plans to label certain aviation investments as green, arguing this risked 'greenwashing' thousands of CO2-emitting planes.

"Sticking a green investment label on thousands of highly polluting planes is an act of pure greenwashing," said T&E aviation director Jo Dardenne.

Mass-production of those technologies is still years away. Airbus has said it aims for a small hydrogen-powered passenger plane to enter commercial service in 2035. "It is key that air transport is included in the EU taxonomy to support the full decarbonisation of the air transport industry," an Airbus spokesperson said.
