The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has signed an agreement with Chooose, a software company, to expand IATA CO2 Connect emissions data to airlines using the Chooose platform for SAF programme management.
IATA CO2 Connect collects data from over 70 airlines, and by providing this data to the Chooose platform, will offer more transparency regarding emissions. Chooose is also a member of the IATA Strategic Partnerships Program, helping to improve standards and support decarbonisation initiatives.
“For years, Chooose has supported airlines, cargo, and travel companies with flexible access to emissions estimates to enable their SAF programs and customer-facing applications,” said Joseph Beaudin, Chooose CEO. “The addition of IATA CO2 Connect gives our partners access to an IATA dataset that continuously improves as more airlines report operational inputs and SAF usage.”
“IATA CO2 Connect is the only carbon calculator for travel emissions that is based on airline operational data,” commented Frederic Leger, IATA’s SVP Commercial Products & Services. “We want IATA CO2 Connect data to be as broadly available as possible so that those who are managing travel can do their work with the most accurate information. Working with Chooose is a key part of that strategy.”
