We are one of the first Asian airlines to commit to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. We will achieve this by spearheading the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel, investing in new technology and fuel-efficient aircraft, offsetting our carbon emissions, and reducing ground emissions. And we are one of the airlines that has the lowest carbon emissions on average when carrying a unit payload (passenger or cargo in tonnes) for the same distance flown.

What can you do? Fly Greener

We introduced our voluntary carbon offset programme Fly Greener in 2007. The logic is simple: CO₂ generated from air travel is offset by investment in projects that reduce or prevent the equivalent amount of CO₂ from being generated elsewhere. Some of these projects include improving cooking methods in Bangladesh, generating clean energy in India as well as providing organic waste bio-digesters and solar-powered cookers in rural areas of the Chinese Mainland.

Our carbon calculator works out the carbon emissions for your specific flight and shows the equivalent monetary contribution which will help offset your CO₂ emissions.

We also offer customised solutions for corporate customers to help offset emissions from business travel. Contact sustainability@cathaypacific.com for more details.
