IATA CO2 Connect Calculator

IATA has developed a calculator that enables passengers to easily calculate the CO2 footprint of their flights:

  1. Search and select the departure and arrival airports
  2. Choose the aircraft type (if unknown, the most common one for the route will be automatically selected).
  3. Press calculate.

CO2 emissions are calculated by: 

  1. Calculating the total CO2 emissions for a given flight
  2. Distribution of CO2 between passenger and cargo payload based on weight
  3. Allocation of CO2 between passengers, considering expected occupancy and cabin classes.

The calculator uses actual fuel consumption data, covering 74 aircraft types which represents ~98% of the active global passenger fleet and traffic data from 881 aircraft operators representing ~93% of global air travel.  Additional information on the methodology is provided by IATA.

Disclaimer: CO2 emissions calculations are aligned with the IATA Recommended Practice Per-Passenger CO2 Calculation Methodology. Actual CO2 emissions on the day of travel may have variations.
