This indicates a notable increase in emissions from 2022 to 2023, particularly in Scope 3. Aircastle has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Aircastle Limited, reflecting the broader corporate family's performance in emissions reporting. Overall, while Aircastle has made strides in transparency regarding its emissions, the lack of defined reduction strategies highlights an area for potential improvement in its climate commitments.
