Flying more sustainably
Air travel contributes about 3% to global CO2 emissions and thus has an impact on our environment. Via Climate Austria you can calculate and offset the CO2 emissions of your individual flight online.
Air travel made sustainable.
In addition to CO2, air travel also produces other emissions such as nitrogen oxides and water vapour. The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) recommends multiplying CO2 emissions by the so-called RFI factor (Radiative Forcing Index) when calculating emissions from air travel in order to adequately reflect the additional effects. Analogous to the Federal Environment Agency, Climate Austria's CO2 Calculator therefore calculates emissions from flights taking into account an RFI factor of 2.7.
You can easily calculate the emissions for each flight and offset them via Climate Austria.
Flying more sustainably with Austrian Airlines.
Climate Austria has been cooperating with Austria's major airline since 2008.
In addition to a CO2 reduction with the purchase of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), you can make your voluntary contribution to offsetting your individual CO2 emissions when booking your Austrian Airlines flight online.
With your payment, you support national and international climate protection projects within our project portfolio.
