As of the latest available data, DFSA does not report specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of detailed emissions data for the most recent year. The organisation is a current subsidiary of DFS Aviation Services GmbH, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. DFSA has not established any documented reduction targets or climate pledges, nor does it appear to have cascaded any specific science-based targets from its parent organisation, DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH. This absence of data suggests that DFSA may still be in the early stages of developing its climate strategy or reporting framework. In the context of the aviation industry, where emissions reduction is critical, DFSA's lack of publicly available emissions data and reduction initiatives highlights an opportunity for improvement in transparency and commitment to climate action. As the industry increasingly focuses on sustainability, DFSA may benefit from aligning its practices with broader environmental goals and initiatives.
