In NFR category //1.A.3.a i (ii) - Internatinal Civil Aviation: Cruise// emissions from international flights from German airports during cruise stage (above 3,000 feet of altitude) are reported.
In the following, information on sub-category specific activity data, (implied) emission factors and emission estimates are provided.
===== Methodology =====
==== Actitvity Data ====
Specific jet kerosene consumption during cruise-stage is calculated within TREMOD AV as described in the superordinate chapter on civil aviation.
__Table 1: annual jet kerosene consumption during cruise-stage, in terajoules__

After a strong decrease during the Covid-19 pandemic, flight activity and, hence, fuel consumption show a ongoing "recovery" being close to pre-pandemic levels again in 2022.
==== Emission factors ====
All country specific emission factors used for emission reporting were basically ascertained within UBA project FKZ 360 16 029 [(KNOERR2010)] and have since then been compiled, revised and maintained in TREMOD AV [(KNOERR2024c)].
For more information, please see the superordinate chapter on civil aviation.

For the country-specific emission factors applied for particulate matter, no clear indication is available, whether or not condensables are included.
For information on the **emission factors for heavy-metal and POP exhaust emissions**, please refer to Appendix 2.3 - Heavy Metal (HM) exhaust emissions from mobile sources and Appendix 2.4 - Persistent Organic Pollutant (POP) exhaust emissions from mobile sources.
===== Trend discussion for Key Sources =====
NFR 1.A.3.a i (ii) - International Civil Aviation - Cruise is **not included in the national emission totals** and hence **not included in the key category analysis**.
===== Recalculations =====
**Activity data** have been revised as a result of the slightly increased percental share of jet kerosene allocated to domestic flights (see description of re-calculations in super-ordinate chapter on 1.A.3.a). Here, as slightly more jet kerosene is allocated to NFR 1.A.3.a ii for 2022, the amounts allocated to NFR sub-categories 1.A.3.a i(i) and 1.A.3.a i(ii) have been decreased accordingly.
