Flight Emissions Calculator
The flight emissions calculator estimates the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions generated by a flight based on travel distance and seating class. This tool helps environmentally conscious travelers understand the environmental impact of air travel and compare emissions across different trip types.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is flight CO₂ calculated?
The calculation multiplies the flight distance by an emissions factor, which varies based on the seating class (economy, business, first).
Why do different classes have different emission factors?
Business and first-class seats take up more space and weight per passenger, resulting in higher emissions per kilometer.
Is this calculation accurate for all flights?
It's a general estimate. Actual emissions can vary based on aircraft type, airline efficiency, and route specifics.
What can I do to reduce my flight emissions?
Choose direct flights, travel economy, offset your carbon footprint, or consider alternative modes of transportation.
