AirTran Holdings, LLC's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Southwest Airlines Co.

AirTran Holdings, LLC, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Southwest Airlines Co., which provides emissions data and climate initiatives at a cascade level of 1. As of now, AirTran Holdings has not set specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other recognised frameworks. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that the company may be relying on the broader sustainability efforts of its parent organisation, Southwest Airlines Co. Southwest Airlines has been actively engaged in climate commitments, which may indirectly influence AirTran's environmental strategies. However, without specific emissions data or reduction targets from AirTran Holdings, it is challenging to provide a detailed overview of their carbon footprint or climate commitments. In summary, while AirTran Holdings, LLC is part of a larger corporate family with potential climate initiatives, it currently lacks publicly available emissions data and specific reduction commitments.
