Cirium Flight Emissions
Cirium methodology incorporates key aircraft attributes including aircraft type, engines, age of aircraft, flight time, passenger load and cargo load, making every flight unique.
Conventional emissions calculations depend on outdated methods, assumptions, and averages, resulting in questionable data and limited flexibility for travellers and travel programs.
Cirium’s EmeraldSky alone, recognizes and accounts for the unique characteristics inherent to each individual flight, giving companies more control and options for their programs and more confidence in their data.
Take a look at how Cirium flight emissions data compares:
