Carbon emissions in air travel have attracted widespread attention with the fast development of the aviation sector. Currently, biofuel usage has the potential to curb these emissions due to the bottleneck of other aircraft emission reduction technologies. This paper studies carbon tax policy-induced air travel carbon emission reduction and biofuel usage in China considering the interactive relationship between an authority and multiple airlines by a bi-level model and an interactive solution approach. Then a case study based on airlines from southern China’s Sichuan Province is conducted to explore useful insights, with scenario analyses being performed. The computational results indicate that the policy could be useful for air travel carbon emission reduction and biofuel usage improvement in China. These results and analyses provide insights to the authority for the tradeoffs between policy equity and carbon emissions reduction effectiveness, and airlines for profitability. • Carbon tax policy-induced air travel carbon emission reduction in China is studied. • A bi-level model considering interaction of an authority and airlines is developed. • Trade-off between the effectiveness and equity of the carbon tax policy is analyzed. • A case study based on airlines in China is provided to explore useful insights. • The policy plays a vital role in carbon emission reduction and biofuel usage.
