Xiamen Airlines's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Xiamen Airlines reported significant carbon emissions, with Scope 1 emissions from mobile combustion amounting to approximately 2,643,700,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions totalling about 50,200,000 kg CO2e. The airline has not disclosed emissions data for 2021, 2020, or 2023, indicating a lack of comprehensive reporting for those years. Xiamen Airlines is a current subsidiary of China Southern Airlines Company Limited, which may influence its emissions data and climate commitments. However, there are no specific reduction targets or climate pledges documented for Xiamen Airlines, and it appears that the airline has not yet adopted Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets. The airline's carbon intensity, measured in terms of ATK (Available Tonne Kilometres) carbon dioxide emissions, was reported at approximately 0.629 kg CO2e per tonne km in 2022. This figure reflects the airline's operational efficiency in terms of emissions relative to its capacity. Overall, while Xiamen Airlines has disclosed some emissions data, it lacks a clear framework for emissions reduction and climate commitments, which is increasingly important in the aviation industry as stakeholders demand greater accountability and action on climate change.
