This figure includes 2,769,030,100 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which primarily encompass direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. Additionally, the airline recorded 3,553,410 kg CO2e in Scope 2 emissions, related to indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, and 191,980 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, which cover other indirect emissions in the value chain. Comparatively, in 2022, Air Arabia's Scope 1 emissions were about 2,120,253,370 kg CO2e, indicating a significant increase in emissions year-on-year. The data for Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions was not disclosed for 2022, and prior years only included Scope 1 emissions, with 1,261,192,000 kg CO2e reported in 2021. Despite the increase in emissions, Air Arabia has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company does not appear to inherit emissions data from any parent organisation, and all reported figures are directly from Air Arabia PJSC. Overall, while Air Arabia has made strides in transparency regarding its emissions, the lack of defined reduction strategies highlights an area for potential improvement in its climate commitments.
