El Al's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, El Al Israel Airlines Ltd. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2.22 billion kg CO2e. This figure includes 2.22 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which primarily encompass direct emissions from fuel combustion. Additionally, the airline's Scope 2 emissions amounted to about 8.16 million kg CO2e, reflecting indirect emissions from purchased electricity. Over the past few years, El Al has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. In 2023, the airline's total emissions were approximately 1.91 billion kg CO2e, indicating a rise in emissions from the previous year, which recorded about 1.57 billion kg CO2e in 2022. The increase in emissions from 2022 to 2023 can be attributed to various operational factors, including revenue growth, which reached approximately 2.5 billion USD in 2023. Despite the lack of specific reduction targets or climate pledges, El Al is actively working to address its environmental impact. The airline has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, which typically includes emissions from the entire value chain, indicating an area for potential future reporting and improvement. El Al's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, and the airline operates independently in its climate reporting efforts. As the aviation industry continues to face scrutiny regarding its environmental impact, El Al's ongoing efforts to monitor and manage its carbon emissions will be crucial in aligning with global climate commitments.
