1.    Have an approved monitoring plan

As of 1 January 2025, all aircraft operators subject to the EU ETS must include monitoring methods with regard to the monitoring, reporting and verification of non-CO2 aviation effects in their monitoring plan. Please use the latest template to include these methods: Template No. 2: Monitoring plan for the emissions of aircraft operators for EU ETS and CORSIA (non-CO₂ section (tabs 18–23). Please submit Monitoring plan changes via the EU ETS reporting tool.

3.    Get access to NEATS

NEATS is available at NEATS - THE NON-CO₂ AVIATION EFFECTS TRACKING SYSTEM

To access NEATS, you need to have an account in EUROCONTROL’s Azur B2C. After registration you are asked to set up a Two-Factor Authentication. More information on accessing NEATS can be found on Sharepoint: Access to NEATS (link only works after registering to the NEATS User Group Sharepoint site)

Please note that your EUROCONTROL Azur B2C account (for the purpose of accessing NEATS) is not the same account as your EUROCONTROL Microsoft guest account (for the purpose of accessing Sharepoint/Teams/etc.).

4.    Registration of first user and set up of Focal Point in NEATS

Please designate a focal point in your company (or an authorized representative, if applicable) as soon as possible for the central administration of all your planned NEATS users and to create a NEATS user account for this person. After registration and logging in, you can select the name of the aircraft operator you are working for. The first user automatically becomes the focal point of the respective aircraft operator. The list of focal point(s) can be modified later. 

More information on this process is available here: Access to NEATS (link only works after registering to the NEATS User Group Sharepoint site)

5.    Uploading of flight data

You should upload the following data into NEATS:

• Flight information  
• Flight trajectory
• Aircraft properties
• Flight fuel properties

Please note, data needs to be uploaded in files using the JSON format. All data you provide in this version of NEATS will be used in later versions of NEATS and thus also for reporting purposes. If you upload and use test data in NEATS, you should delete the test data manually in NEATS before reporting.
