Skywest Airlines

In 2023, SkyWest Airlines reported total carbon emissions of approximately 4.97 billion kg CO2e, comprising about 4.96 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and about 6.6 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The airline has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, which includes indirect emissions from sources such as purchased goods and services, fuel and energy-related activities, and upstream transportation and distribution.

SkyWest Airlines has shown a reduction in emissions from previous years, with total emissions decreasing from approximately 5.48 billion kg CO2e in 2022 and about 5.72 billion kg CO2e in 2021. Despite these reductions, the airline has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor has it participated in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

As a current subsidiary of SkyWest, Inc., emissions data is cascaded from the parent company, which may influence the overall climate strategy. However, specific reduction initiatives or pledges have not been documented. SkyWest Airlines continues to focus on improving its operational efficiency to mitigate its environmental impact.
