Doha, Qatar\u00a0\u2013 The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has launched IATA\u00a0CO2 Connect<\/a>, an online tool which provides the most accurate CO2 emission calculations for any given commercial passenger flight. IATA CO2 Connect responds to the growing demand for CO2 data transparency linked to airline specific and actual fuel burn information and load factors. This sets it apart from theoretical data models that already exist on the market today.\u00a0

IATA CO2 Connect is available to companies within and outside the travel-value-chain, such as travel management companies (TMCs), travel agencies, airlines or multinational corporations. They can access the relevant CO2 emissions data and integrate it in a customized manner into their existing flight booking tools. Travel managers or travelers can easily see the CO2 emissions per routing. The tool also permits the consolidation of data for reporting purposes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new IATA CO2 Connect tool has been launched as the organisation holds its 78th Annual General Meeting and World Air Transport Summit now taking place in Doha, Qatar, 19-21 June 2022 and hosted by Qatar Airways. At least some 1,000 aviation leaders from IATA member airlines, governments, industry stakeholders, strategic partners and members of the media are attending the high profile event the first of a kind -since outbreak of the global-novel Covid 19 pandemic near three years ago.\u00a0

IATA CO2 Connect utilizes the newly developed CO2\u00a0Calculation Methodology<\/a>, adopted by IATA\u2019s Passenger Service Conference in March this year. This was conceived by leading partners from 20 airlines and major aircraft manufacturers, in consultation with international standard-setting bodies and logistics services providers.\u00a0

American Express Global Business Travel (Amex GBT), the world\u2019s leading B2B travel platform, is IATA\u2019s launch partner for CO2 Connect. The travel management company (TMC), which manages more than $40 billion in travel sales annually, undertakes to provide its customers with the most accurate and reliable flight emissions data, enabling travelers to make better informed booking decisions. \u00a0

\u201cFlying sustainably and cutting CO2 emissions is a top priority. The aviation sector is working to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 and travelers want to be more aware of their carbon footprint. With IATA CO2 Connect, individuals and corporate travel managers can get standardized accurate calculations to make the most sustainable choices for their air travel taking into consideration aircraft types, routings and class of service. Importantly, data can be consolidated for corporate reporting purposes,\u201d said Frederic Leger, IATA\u2019s Senior Vice President for Commercial Products & Services. \u00a0

Companies interested in accessing IATA CO2 Connect can integrate the data into existing travel management solutions via Application Programing Interface (API) or flat file technology\/format. \u00a0\u00a0

In contrast to many existing CO2 calculators, IATA CO2 Connect uses primary data from airlines. Emissions are calculated with the first industry-developed passenger CO2 Calculation Methodology which takes into account:\u00a0guidance on fuel measurement, aligned with the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA)\u00a0; clearly defined scope to calculate CO2 emissions in relation to airlines\u2019 flying activities-guidance on non-CO2 related emissions and Radiative Forcing Index (RFI)\u00a0among others .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
