In 2023, Atlas Air reported carbon emissions of approximately 4,406,272,000 kg CO2e, all of which fall under Scope 1 emissions. This represents an increase from 2022, where emissions were about 3,800,030,000 kg CO2e, and from 2021, which recorded approximately 3,644,967,000 kg CO2e. Despite the rising emissions, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or climate pledges from Atlas Air. The company has not outlined specific initiatives aimed at reducing its carbon footprint, which places it in a challenging position within the aviation industry's broader climate commitments. As Atlas Air continues to operate, it will be essential for the company to establish clear climate strategies and reduction targets to align with global sustainability goals and industry standards.
