The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has signed an agreement with software company Chooose to expand market access to IATA CO2 Connect emissions data.
Airlines managing their SAF programs via the Chooose platform will now be able to deliver IATA CO2 Connect’s trusted data—based on real operational inputs from over 70 airlines and aligned with IATA RP 1726 and ISO 14083—directly to their corporate and consumer traveler customers, said a press release.
IATA research conducted in April 2024 revealed that 40% of travelers—particularly business travelers—regularly check their flight-related carbon emissions.
By delivering CO2 Connect data through its platform, Chooose helps airlines and corporate partners meet that demand for transparency, while enabling more informed decision-making.
Chooose’s more than 30 global airline partners will now also have the option of incorporating IATA CO2 Connect emissions data into their emissions calculations.
IATA CO2 Connect enables flight-specific emissions estimates using actual aircraft performance data and can account for SAF-related reductions, it said.
As a member of the IATA Strategic Partnerships Program, Chooose has participated in the program by contributing to the improvement of standards and supporting industry-wide decarbonization initiatives, it reads.
