| Compensate CO2-Emissions with Climate Austria
|
|
|
Austrian supports the new climate protection initiative, ‘Climate Austria’. This initiative enables our passengers to voluntarily compensate for the CO2 emissions produced by their flight at the same time as paying for their ticket.
Whenever a passenger purchases a ticket at the Austrian booking website, the CO2 emissions of the flight in the question and financial contribution needed to compensate for these are calculated automatically. Austrian Airlines and Kommunalkredit Public Consulting (KPC) have developed their own CO2 calculator to enable them to do this. The calculations are based on our current kerosene consumption figures and the average load factors of all our destinations.
Climate Austria supports national and international climate protection projects designed to achieve reductions in CO2 levels. Our passengers can make a financial contribution towards doing this. The decision whether and to which extent the financial compensation shall take place, is up to the passenger.
National climate protection projects meet the standards of domestic environmental support set by the Austrian Environment Ministry. International climate protection projects are subject to UN-approved Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) standards, and also contribute to sustainable development in developing countries.
