In 2023, Atlas Air reported carbon emissions of approximately 4,406,272,000 kg CO2e, all of which fall under Scope 1 emissions. This marks an increase from 2022, when emissions were about 3,800,030,000 kg CO2e, and from 2021, which recorded approximately 3,644,967,000 kg CO2e. The data indicates a trend of rising emissions over the past three years. Atlas Air is a current subsidiary of Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc., which is responsible for the emissions data reported. However, there are no specific reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their sustainability initiatives. The absence of such commitments suggests that while emissions data is tracked, there may be a lack of formalised strategies aimed at reducing their carbon footprint. As the aviation industry faces increasing scrutiny regarding its environmental impact, Atlas Air's emissions figures highlight the need for enhanced climate commitments and reduction strategies to align with global sustainability goals.
