Oneworld is first airline alliance to join IATA CO2 Connect
The International Air Transport Association announced oneworld as the first airline alliance to join the trade group’s CO2 Connect emissions calculator programme.
IATA and oneworld will work together with all 13 oneworld member airlines to collate operational data.
This will improve the accuracy of the tool.
The alliance comprises Alaska Airlines, American, BA, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Iberia, JAL, Malaysia Airlines, Qatar Airways, Qantas, Royal Air Maroc, Royal Jordanian, and SriLankan.
IATA Senior VP, Sustainability, Marie Owens Thomsen said: “Travellers want to make informed choices regarding their CO2 footprint and IATA CO2 Connect set out to provide CO2 emission calculations based on operational data.”
“We are delighted that oneworld will become the first to join this initiative, bringing in its 13 member airlines as data contributors.”
IATA launched CO2 Connect in June 2022, to collect airline data, such as fuel burn, belly cargo and load factors, for better quality CO2 emission calculations.
Paired with other IATA and open market data sources, IATA CO2 Connect calculates CO2 emissions for 74 aircraft types.
This represents 98% of the active global passenger fleet and analyses traffic data from 881 aircraft operators.
IATA CO2 Connect data calculations are available to industry partners through an API or flat file.
In a recent opinion poll 90% of travellers said that they have a responsibility to know about the carbon emissions of their flight, but only two in five actually do so.
IATA CO2 Connect plans to include new features, having just launched a corporate reporting solution to report CO2 emissions from business travel.
Next year it will be introducing CO2 compensation solutions to support airlines and other industry partners.
