IBA’s latest Carbon Index has revealed that CO2 emissions from commercial aviation averaged 143.1 grams of CO2 per-seat-per mile in June 2022, with overall carbon intensity per seat decreasing by 0.4%.
This represents a 2.4% reduction in CO2 intensity per-seat per-mile year-on-year, another record low for the industry.
Global traffic increased by 4% month-on-month in June. Surprisingly, the largest growth in flight volumes within Europe and CIS is being driven by Russian operators. S7 Airlines, Aeroflot and Rossiya have each seen a 30%, 27% and 12% increase in flight volumes respectively.
This equates to an additional 7,000 flights, making up 18% of all growth within the Europe & CIS region in June 2022.
Driven by the IBA NetZero carbon emissions calculator, the monthly Carbon Index highlights the best performing airlines, aircraft, and major lessors on a CO2 per-seat per-mile basis.
It also showcases the aviation industry’s efforts on the path to net zero emissions. IBA’s aviation Carbon Index is produced in partnership with KPMG.
