This marks a notable increase in emissions compared to previous years, particularly in Scope 3, which includes emissions from business travel and fuel-related activities. In 2022, the airline's emissions were about 3,858,600 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 199,611 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 3,658,989 kg CO2e. The absence of Scope 3 emissions in that year indicates a shift in reporting practices or operational changes. AirAsia has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or similar frameworks. However, the airline continues to monitor and disclose its emissions across all relevant scopes, demonstrating a commitment to transparency in its climate impact. Overall, while AirAsia's emissions have fluctuated, the lack of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for the airline to enhance its climate commitments and align with industry standards for sustainability.
