Vueling Airlines, S.A.'s reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Vueling Airlines, S.A. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,865,156,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 921,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and 615,816,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a significant operational footprint, with Scope 1 emissions primarily arising from direct fuel combustion and Scope 2 emissions related to electricity consumption. Comparatively, in 2022, Vueling's emissions were about 2,597,426,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 880,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and 540,020,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This indicates an increase in emissions across all scopes, highlighting the challenges faced in reducing carbon output amidst growing operational demands. Vueling has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as there are no documented climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) targets. The airline's emissions data is not cascaded from a parent company, indicating that these figures are independently reported. The airline's flight-only emissions intensity, which includes reductions from Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), was reported at 0.0789 kg CO2e per passenger-kilometre in 2023, showing a slight improvement from 0.0833 kg CO2e per passenger-kilometre in 2022. This metric is crucial for assessing the airline's efficiency in reducing emissions relative to its operational output. Overall, while Vueling Airlines, S.A. has made strides in measuring and reporting its carbon emissions, the absence of formal reduction commitments suggests a need for enhanced climate action strategies to align with industry standards and expectations.
