Accounting for the aircraft emissions of China's domestic routes during 2014-2019

The "13th Five-Year Plan" of civil aviation energy conservation and emission reduction impacts China's domestic aviation exchanges. However, few researchers pay attrition to the impact of the 13th Five-Year Plan on aviation emissions. This paper intends to calculate the emissions of six pollutants (CO₂, CO, HC, NO_x, PM2.5, and SO₂) in China's domestic airlines from 2014 to 2019 and explore the impact of the 13th Five-Year Plan on emissions changes. In this paper, the improved BFFM2-FOA-FPM method is used to unify the calculation of CO₂ and other aviation emissions. The error rate between the estimate and the official data was about 6.45%. The results show that the 13th Five-Year Plan has impacted on aviation emissions, including the number of routes and airlines, aircraft configuration, air routes, and airline unit turnover emissions. Additionally, the 13th Five-Year Plan's effect is not significant, and it does not promote the reduction of emissions on domestic routes.
