EU court annuls exclusion of business jets from the sustainable finance taxonomy, opening the door to green labelingExecutive summary: The EU General Court annulled the Commission’s 2023 decision to exclude business jets from the EU’s climate‑labeling criteria for sustainable economic activities. The ruling affects whether business‑jet operators can access green financing and may trigger a broader revision of the EU taxonomy for aviation. European Commission, EU General Court, business‑jet manufacturers (e.g., Dassault, Gulfstream, Bombardier), and sustainable‑finance investors.
