The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has announced the launch of CO2 Connect for Cargo, a new tool designed to provide precise carbon emissions calculations for air cargo shipments. This development aims to support the aviation industry’s sustainability goals by offering standardized and transparent emissions data.

CO2 Connect for Cargo leverages actual airline operational data, including aircraft type, fuel burn, and routing, to deliver accurate emissions estimates for specific shipments. The tool is intended to assist freight forwarders, shippers, and airlines in reporting and managing their carbon footprint more effectively.

This initiative follows the successful implementation of IATA’s CO2 Connect for passenger flights and reflects the growing demand for reliable environmental data in the air cargo sector. More information can be found on the official IATA website: IATA Press Release.
