Antwerp, Belgium, 24th March 2021\u00a0<\/strong>– The global Aviation industry produces around 2% of all human-induced carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. It is responsible for 12% of CO2 emissions from all transport sources, compared with 74% from road transport. And even though jet aircraft are 80% more fuel efficient per seat kilometre than in the 1960s (1)<\/strong>, they still play a non-negligible role in greenhouse gas emissions. The good news is that, as the clients (individuals and organisations) are becoming more environmentally conscious, they are willing to compensate the CO2 emissions that their flight produces. But how much would this cost?<\/p>\n

Especially in Business Aviation, customers are more and more frequently requesting a flight quotation which includes the CO2 compensation cost, or at least the approximate amount of CO2 emitted during a particular trip. However, calculating this value in a separate tool for each quote flight would be highly time-consuming for aircraft operators and brokers.<\/p>\n

The main goal of sales team members is building quotes and replying to customers\u2019 requests as quickly as possible; aware of this, Skylegs launched a new feature at the beginning of the year, which is part of the Skylegs Green project, an innovative initiative launched in collaboration with the Belgian Vlaio Funding Support<\/a>. Both the amount of CO2 emitted, and its cost are automatically calculated during quote preparation, and it can be included in the price totals or not.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n
