CORSIA countries follow ICAO's 2026 list. It changes every year.
Airports come from the OpenFlights list, about 6,000 with regular flights.
Distance is the straight line between two airports. Real flights fly further.
Fuel figures are rough, based on ICAO's BFFM2 method and maker data.
The UK price may move a lot while the UK and EU talk about linking their schemes. Check it before using it.
