Latam flies carbon-neutrally every Friday


Every Friday the Latam Airlines Group will compensate the CO2 emissions of its first nine routes in Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil and Colombia through a programme called “Let’s fly neutral on Friday”. It includes cargo flights on the routes Iquitos–Lima, Guayaquil–Baltra Island, Brasília–Belém and Bogotá–Miami.

 

With this initiative, which is part of the group’s sustainability strategy, Latam will support conservation projects that prevent deforestation in strategic ecosystems in South America, by offsetting CO2 emissions generated on these routes. Each tonne of carbon dioxide emitted will be offset with a carbon credit, equivalent to 1 t of CO2 captured by a conservation project. The initiative will conserve 200,000 ha of floodable savannah, home to more than 2,000 species. (cj)
