IATA’s new CO2 tool

THE International Air Transport Association (IATA) has launched IATA CO2 Connect, a new tool available to businesses like travel agencies and travel management companies to help calculate CO2 emission for commercial flights.

The organisation said the launch was driven by a demand for CO2 transparency to be linked to airline fuel burn information and load factors, rather than existing theoretical data models.

MEANWHILE, over 1,000 delegates will arrive in Melbourne for the 151st IATA Slot Conference in Nov, delivering a multi-million dollar lift to the state’s economy.
