Delta Air Lines becomes latest contributor to the IATA CO2 Connect

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced that Delta Air Lines (Delta) will use and contribute operational data to the IATA CO2 Connect emissions calculator, for both passenger and cargo flights.

The agreement with Delta was signed at the IATA World Sustainability Symposium (WSS) currently taking place in Miami.

Delta will contribute fuel-burn data from its 4,000 daily flights—the largest of the over 40 airlines that currently contribute operational data to IATA CO2 Connect.

With CO2 Connect, Delta will be able to provide all customers, regardless of whether they are individual travelers, corporate customers, or cargo customers, with greater transparency of their impact on the environment through flying.

“With Delta’s participation, IATA CO2 Connect will become an even stronger tool helping aviation to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
