The Aircraft Emissions Manager by SITA ready to take off
Rome, Italy - The first global solution for measure carbon emissions of CO2 of the airlines
(WAPA) - "SITA, the air transport IT specialist, announced that 12 airline members of the Arab Air Carriers Organization (AACO) will be the first to deploy SITA’s Aircraft Emissions Manager, the world’s only Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) software tool specially designed to measure accurately carbon emissions and fuel burn in Tonne-Kilometres as per new EU requirements.
The deployment this month follows exhaustive testing and the submission - in consultation with SITA - of the airlines’ Monitoring Plans for carbon dioxide emissions to the relevant EU authorities in compliance with new regulations on Emissions Trading Schemes (ETS) for the aviation industry.
All 12 airlines now have an ETS Project Owner working with cross-functional teams and SITA has developed a model which takes various inputs from the airlines’ operational data and combines these with financial assumptions in order to assist airline management in understanding the cost impact of the EU-ETS.
The Aircraft Emissions Manager will also support the requirement that ETS related information must be stored for ten years.
The first adopters of SITA’s Aircraft Emissions Manager are: Afriqiyah Airways, EgyptAir Holding Company (which includes EgyptAir Airlines, EgyptAir Express and EgyptAir Cargo), Jordan Aviation, Kuwait Airways, Libyan Airlines, Middle East Airlines, Oman Air, Royal Jordanian, Syrian Arab Airways and Yemen Airways".
