Atlas Air's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Atlas Air reported significant carbon emissions, with Scope 1 emissions totalling approximately 5,741,160,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 1,776,000 kg CO2e (market-based). This marks an increase from 2023, where Scope 1 emissions were around 4,406,272,000 kg CO2e. The company has consistently reported Scope 1 emissions over the past few years, with figures of approximately 3,800,030,000 kg CO2e in 2022 and about 4,025,997,000 kg CO2e in 2021. Despite the rising emissions, Atlas Air has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The emissions data is cascaded from their parent company, Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc., indicating a corporate family relationship that influences their reporting. As a current subsidiary, Atlas Air's climate strategy appears to be aligned with broader industry trends, although specific commitments or targets have not been articulated. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data suggests a potential area for future reporting and improvement.
