We have secured additional airlines as data contributors for our CO2 Connect Emissions Calculator. ANA, Azul, and SAS, along with RwandAir, the first airline based in sub-Saharan Africa have joined the program.
The actual fuel burn data provided by these airlines based in different continents will further enhance the CO2 emissions calculations provided by CO2 Connect. More airlines are expected to start providing operational data during the course of 2024.
IATA launched CO2 Connect in June 2022, with the objective of using member airline data, such as fuel burn, belly cargo and load factors, to provide high-quality per flight passenger CO2 emission calculations. Paired with other IATA and open market data sources, IATA CO2 Connect calculates CO2 emissions for 74 aircraft types, representing ~98% of the active global passenger fleet, and considers traffic data from 881 aircraft operators representing ~93% of global air travel.
IATA CO2 Connect data calculations are available to industry partners through an API or flat file, as well as via airline sales channels and travel management companies.
