The aviation industry (http://search.breitbart.com/q?s=aviation%20industry&sid=breitbart.com) is being unfairly targeted over climate change (http://search.breitbart.com/q?s=climate%20change&sid=breitbart.com) and future reductions in aircraft emissions should be based on technological innovation rather than regulation, Airbus chief Tom Enders said Wednesday.
"We think it's a little bit unfair that the aviation sector is singled out for attack by many environmental groups, maybe because we are more visible than other groups," Enders told a media briefing in Auckland.
Environmental activists are pressing for lower emissions from the aviation industry and are urging travellers to cut back their air travel.
Last week in Bangkok signatories to the 1997 UN Kyoto Protocol promised to explore ways of curbing the harmful gases that planes emit into the atmosphere.
