AACO Backs SITA–Amadeus Collaboration To Boost Flight Emissions Transparency

The early-stage effort links SITA’s operational performance data to Amadeus’ Travel Impact Suite to provide more verifiable emissions calculations.

Overview

  • The partners announced the collaboration in mid-November as an exploratory data integration with no public timeline, pilot results, or independent verification metrics yet.
  • SITA’s Eco Mission draws on real aircraft performance and operational data to calculate fuel burn and related emissions at a granular level.
  • Amadeus’ Travel Impact Suite aggregates carbon estimates from multiple recognized sources and standards in an open, partner-agnostic framework.
  • Executives say the goal is to give airlines, travel sellers, corporations, and passengers clearer information to guide booking decisions and support actions such as carbon offsetting.
  • The initiative is framed as helping carriers handle rising regulatory complexity and costs, and SITA notes its SBTi-validated targets of a 4.2% annual emissions cut and net zero by 2050.
