Aviation’s existential threat is not COVID – it’s the environment

Environmental sustainability is looming as a key threat to the viability of the airline industry - and the travel sector at large that depends on it.

Accurate and effective measurement of emissions is key to real reductions

This month CAPA Live will investigate the topic of environmental sustainability and aviation. A vital step to achieving emission reduction goals is accurate and effective measurement of individual airline emissions.

CAPA and its sustainability analysis partner, Envest, will reveal some early findings on the significance of sustainability for the airline industry, ahead of publishing a landmark report on the topic in Oct-2021.

In a CAPA Live session on 08-Sep-2021, CAPA and Envest will present data on 25 of the world's leading airlines, which together represent about 55% of total industry emissions.

In terms of CO2 emissions per ASK and RPK, there are very significant differences between best in class and worst.
