Air Canada

Air Canada, headquartered in Canada and operating in the air transport services industry, has outlined its climate commitments and emissions data. For the reporting year 2024, Air Canada reported total Scope 1 emissions of approximately 12.1 billion kg CO2e, primarily from stationary combustion (about 12.1 billion kg CO2e) and fugitive emissions (about 16.1 million kg CO2e). Scope 2 emissions for 2024 were approximately 899.8 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were reported across several categories, including downstream leased assets (about 4.6 million kg CO2e), purchased goods and services (about 895.2 million kg CO2e), and upstream transportation and distribution (about 896.2 million kg CO2e).

In 2023, total Scope 1 emissions were approximately 11.3 billion kg CO2e, with stationary combustion accounting for about 11.3 billion kg CO2e and fugitive emissions at approximately 5.7 million kg CO2e. Scope 2 emissions in 2023 were approximately 943.0 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions included downstream leased assets (about 5.3 million kg CO2e), purchased goods and services (about 937.4 million kg CO2e), and upstream transportation and distribution (about 938.2 million kg CO2e).

Air Canada has set several reduction targets: a 20% net reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from air operations by 2030, compared to 2019 levels. Additionally, the company aims for a 30% net reduction in GHG emissions from ground operations by 2030, also compared to a 2019 baseline. These targets are for near-term reduction.
