Jet Airways India now has an automated calculation and analysis process that will provide accurate emissions calculations and predictions, helping it make effective decisions for buying carbon credits and allowances. The system uses rich analytics for annual emissions, regulatory and voluntary carbon offsets, and statistical checks for emissions.The solution can analyze to the aircraft level and exclude fuel used during maintenance activities. It will help ensure that all EU flight emissions are properly calculated and reporting is accurate and timely, helping to ensure regulatory compliance.
Benefits:
