British Airways has begun offsetting carbon emissions on all its flights within the UK and the move is a part of the airline’s plans of committing to achieve a net-zero carbon emission by 2050.
British Airways will have the carbon emissions from their flights offset by the airline and invested in the highest quality, verified carbon reduction projects around the world which customers can experience while flying with the UK.
Assured projects like renewable energy, protection of rainforest and reforestation programmes are included.
Up to 75 flights a day will be operated by the British Airways between London and the UK cities of Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle, Isle of Man, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Belfast City, Inverness and Jersey.
By 2050, British Airways has committed to achieving net-zero carbon emission through a range of initiatives which includes offsetting emissions on all flights within the UK, flying more fuel-efficient aircraft investing in sustainable aviation fuel and changing the operating procedures. The global climate policy is also strengthening.
Over the next 20 years the airline and its parent company, IAG, will invest a total of $400 million on alternative sustainable fuel development.
