6 Nov 2025 Braathens International Airways ABBraathens International Airways: SEK 142.8m for emission allowances not surrendered SwedenEmissions and permits €13m

The Naturvårdsverket (Swedish Environmental Protection Agency) imposed a penalty of 142,757,565 SEK on the airline Braathens International Airways because it had not surrendered emission allowances for 99,707 tonnes of CO2 equivalent from 2024 by the deadline of 30 September 2025. The inflation-adjusted penalty amounts to 129.69 EUR per tonne (12,930,939 EUR) and does not release the company from the obligation to surrender allowances; the company had been declared bankrupt on 30 September 2025. A separate penalty was imposed on its sister company Braathens Regional Airways AB.

What organisations can take from it

Surrendering emission allowances is a hard deadline without exceptions; even in a crisis it must be secured in liquidity planning.
