Aviation greenhouse gas emissions

Statistics report on global greenhouse gas emissions from air transportation

Air transportation is one of the fastest growing sources of greenhouse gas emissions. With air passenger demand continuing to grow, the aviation's contributions to emissions are set to increase without urgent action.

This statistics report provides data on greenhouse gas emissions produced by the global aviation sector. The report includes emissions data for commercial and freight flights on a global and country basis, as well as emissions from some of the world's leading airlines and international airports. The report also includes statistics on emission reduction targets, Sustainable Alternative Fuel adoption, and projections for the sector.
