25 June 2019

We at THAI belive that it is easier to make conscious decisions when you have clear and understandable information. It can be difficult to understand how much one person stands for in terms of carbon offset when it comes to the airline industry.

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has developed a methodology to calculate the carbon emission per passenger. The calculation takes into considiration type of aircraft, route, number of passengers and eventual cargo. To access the calculator, please press here.

Below are some examples presented:

Flight route	Flight route in KM	CO2 in KG / passenger	Gram per KM
Stockholm - Bangkok	8290	353.7	42.67
Copenhagen - Bangkok	8631	368.7	42.72
Stockholm-Doha-Bangkok	9891	556.5	56.26
Stockholm-Dubai-Bangkok	9681	596.8	61.65
