The Oneworld airline alliance has agreed to contribute data to the International Air Transport Association’s CO2 Connect carbon emissions calculator, IATA announced Tuesday.
The 13 member airlines that will share their data are Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Iberia, Japan Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Qatar Airways, Qantas, Royal Air Maroc, Royal Jordanian and SriLankan Airlines, according to IATA.
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 per-flight passenger CO2 emission calculations, according to the organization. The CO2 Connect data is available through an API or flat file, as well as through airline sales channels and travel management companies, according to IATA.
