IATA has announced the integration of flight-specific emissions data from IATA CO2 Connect into Amadeus.
IATA CO2 Connect uses real operational data, such as aircraft type-specific fuel consumption, directly contributed by over 70 airlines and calculated using a globally standardised methodology.
"Our agreement with Amadeus will help fulfil traveller expectations for greater transparency as airlines progress towards nett-zero carbon emissions by 2050. IATA surveys reveal that close to 90% of passengers expect airlines or travel agents to provide carbon emission data for flights they have booked. Yet, 79% highlight that the carbon calculations provided are not always consistent. Making IATA CO2 Connect data available through the Amadeus platform will help users make more informed travel decisions using accurate emissions data,” said Willie Walsh, IATA DG.
