Kuwait Airways's reported carbon emissions

Kuwait Airways currently does not have available carbon emissions data, as no specific figures have been reported. Consequently, there are no documented Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions figures to reference. Additionally, the airline has not established any formal reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a lack of publicly available commitments towards carbon neutrality or emissions reduction initiatives. In the context of the aviation industry, many airlines are increasingly focusing on sustainability and climate commitments, often setting Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) goals to align with global climate agreements. However, Kuwait Airways has not disclosed any such initiatives or targets at this time. As the airline industry continues to evolve towards more sustainable practices, Kuwait Airways may need to consider developing and communicating its climate strategy to align with industry standards and expectations.
