1. Aircraft operators holding the labels shall be responsible for the manner in which the label and the label logotype are used, especially in the context of advertising, and for compliance with the requirements of this Regulation. The issuance of the labels, including the label logotype, shall only confer the aircraft operator or the point of sale the right to use the label logotype in compliance with the requirements set out in this Regulation. 2. Aircraft operators shall display the labels issued to them at all points of sale owned by them without any undue delay and in accordance with the specifications of Annex III and with the following requirements: (a) at the latest within 15 days following their receipt from the Agency in accordance with Article 4(1), point (c). Any delay shall be notified and justified to the Agency within those 15 days; (b) the labels shall be displayed clearly visible alongside essential flight details, including the route, scheduled flight time and duration, and price, during the whole electronic purchase process, starting from the flight search engine results, and upon the completion of purchase, and both in the electronic purchase confirmation and in the delivery of such confirmation; (c) the labels shall be displayed in all visual advertising and technical promotional material of those flights, including on the internet, digital applications, and physical format, regardless of the geographical location of such advertising or promotion; 3. Aircraft operators may display the labels on the boarding passes of those flights for which labels were issued. 4. Aircraft operators shall display the labels issued to them without interruption during their respective validity periods provided for in Article 4(2). 5. To ensure clear and correct display of labels, aircraft operators shall: (a) not provide customers with or display labels, markers, symbols, or any equivalent form or inscriptions that mimic the labels issued under this Regulation and which do not comply with the requirements of this Regulation; (b) not provide customers with or display flight emissions equivalent or similar to those included in the labels provided for by this Regulation or that mimic the flight emissions estimated pursuant to this Regulation or which may mimic or replicate the information, or the units of measurement laid down in Article 14(3) of Regulation (EU) 2023/2405, for flights or sets of flights for which labels were not requested under this Regulation and for any other activity not related to the scope of this Regulation; (c) refrain from including any information in relation to their purchases of a given type of aviation fuel that may give customers the false impression that a given flight will be operated including a certain type of aviation fuels unless the aircraft operator can demonstrate the physical presence of that type of aviation fuels in that particular flight in the amount and characteristics claimed to consumers. 6. Aircraft operators shall ensure that, where their flights are offered or made available at points of sale with which the aircraft operator has a contractual relation: (a) the labels are displayed without any undue delay and the latest within 30 days following their receipt from the Agency in accordance with Article 4(1), point (c). Any delay shall be notified and justified to the Agency within those 30 days; (b) the points of sale do not reject the display of labels nor recalculate the flight emissions estimated by the Agency for those aircraft operators, either for comparison or purchase purposes. 7. Aircraft operators shall deploy reasonable efforts to ensure that points of sale with which they do not cooperate, but which display their flights, also comply with the requirements laid down in the previous paragraph without any undue delay.
