The Eco Mission solution leverages operational and aircraft performance data for emissions and fuel-burn calculations, while the Travel Impact Suite gathers carbon emission data from several recognised industry sources and standards.
The initiative is intended to provide airlines and their passengers with better environmental impact information, supporting data-driven decisions related to sustainable travel and regulatory compliance.
According to the partners, the integration of these technologies will offer the aviation sector access to comprehensive emissions information in response to both regulatory demands and increased interest from travellers regarding environmental impact.
AACO secretary general Abdul Wahab Teffaha said: “We are proud that Amadeus and SITA have joined forces to deliver solutions that help the aviation industry and its customers optimise operational costs while engaging passengers on sustainability through accurate, data-driven transparency.”
