In 2023, the United Kingdom led European fossil energy consumption in international aviation, with Germany and France following. Notable year-on-year increases were seen in Portugal, Poland, and Austria, while Ukraine and Iceland saw sharp declines. Noteworthy five-year trends include the consistent rise in Poland's aviation energy consumption and notable declines in Ukraine and Iceland.
Future trends to monitor include the potential impact of geopolitical factors on energy consumption, especially in Eastern Europe. The shift towards sustainable aviation fuels and potential regulatory changes aimed at reducing carbon emissions will also be key factors shaping European aviation's energy consumption landscape in the coming years.
