In global terms, the proportion of aircraft operators—and more specifically those in the business aviation sector—monitoring and recording their carbon emissions remains relatively low. The European fleet is assessed to make up around 15% to 17% of the worldwide total, and the majority of these are counting carbon dioxide emissions—mainly since they are required to do so under the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU-ETS), for which the annual threshold is 1,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions.
Swiss-based sustainability specialist Azzera was founded with the objective of making it more straightforward to do the right thing, regardless of whether this action is mandated or voluntary. CEO and founder Puja Mahajan told AIN that operators worldwide increasingly want to account for their impact on the environment and demonstrate more resolve to mitigate it.
