Comment | The Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) appreciates the opportunity to comment on this discussion document. The vision section of the document suggests many different ways that emissions from freight activities might be accomplished in the future. On Page 42, there is a discussion about the air freight sector, in particular aircraft. One bullet point under the column of potential ARB levers is for the ARB to "partner with airports to incentivize cleaner aircrafts to come to California". It is not in the airports power under Federal law to use incentives to prohibit certain aircraft to come to a particular airport. There is no way that airports would be able to begin to consider this under today's rules and regulations. An alternative might be for the ARB to explore with Federal agency partners the options for directing cleaner aircraft to operate at airports in California. Airports like the ones under the control of LAWA continue to be interested in ways to work with ARB to reduce the emissions of air freight operations. Thank you again for the opportunity to comment. |
