Ghost Emissions?

Airlines are reportedly maintaining near-empty 'ghost flights' to retain their EU airport slots (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/jan/26/airlines-flying-near-empty-ghost-flights-to-retain-eu-airport-slots).

The airlines are clearly committed to net zero carbon emissions rather than simple profits!
