Alaska Airlines has set ambitious reduction targets, aiming for a 26.4% reduction in Ground Support Equipment (GSE) emissions by 2025, relative to a baseline year of 2021. However, the company has faced challenges such as supply chain delays and infrastructure issues that have hindered progress towards this goal. The commitment to reduce emissions is reflected in their near-term targets for both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. The emissions data is cascaded from Alaska Air Group, Inc., which is the parent company of Alaska Airlines, Inc. This corporate relationship underscores the importance of collective climate action within the aviation sector. Alaska Airlines continues to engage in sustainability initiatives, striving to align with industry standards and contribute to broader climate commitments.
