BACK Aviation Solutions is offering a new product measuring carbon emissions for aircraft, airports, engines and airlines. BACK created a Carbon Emissions Calculator using its sister company – OAG Airline Schedules database. Based on the formula developed by the U.K. Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), plus historical, current and projected data from OAG Airline Schedules, the BACK Aviation Carbon Emissions Calculator provides a macro-level view of the impact of commercial aviation on the environment.
Clients will be able to use it to compare carbon footprints by equipment type, airline, airport, route, country or world region. It can also fine-tune calculations by adjusting aircraft load factors as well as measure the impact of operations by day, by week, by month, or year in continuous-time series. The calculator can also be used to plan fleet deployment, routes and schedules to meet emissions control goals. The company is offering a free demonstration at its web site.
