Austrian Airlines AG's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Deutsche Lufthansa AG

Austrian Airlines AG, headquartered in Austria (AT), currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The airline is a current subsidiary of Deutsche Lufthansa AG, which means its climate commitments and emissions data may be influenced by the parent company's initiatives. As part of its climate strategy, Austrian Airlines AG inherits reduction targets and performance metrics from Deutsche Lufthansa AG. This includes participation in various climate initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), both of which are cascaded from Deutsche Lufthansa AG. However, specific reduction targets or achievements for Austrian Airlines AG have not been disclosed. The airline's commitment to sustainability is reflected in its alignment with industry standards and initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions, although detailed figures and specific targets are not currently available.
