Aviation Integrated Model
policy support
policy role
AIM is intended to be used to assess policy or technology levels applied to all or part of the global aviation system. This could include changes in costs to airlines or passengers, or changes in the cost or availability of alternative technology. It has been used to assess carbon trading and offsetting policy (e.g., as part of the assessment for DG CLIMA on how the EU ETS and CORSIA should interact). In the academic literature it has been used to assess the environmental and economic impacts of a range of interventions, including the availability of battery electric aircraft (Schafer et al. 2018) and early aircraft retirement (Dray et al. 2014).
