Sustainability data

Aviation Emissions data (sustainabilityData) is now available through the API!

This data is provided through the Travel Impact Model (TIM), and sourced and distributed by one or more Coalition Partners of Travalyst, a non-profit organization working with its Coalition Partners to bring about the systemic changes required to enable more sustainable travel, starting with creating open-source frameworks for the industry. TIM is the first for aviation, and with it we hope to help make carbon emissions reporting more standardized and transparent. For more information, a white paper about the model is available here.

Flights are compared to others on a route, and those with carbon footprints that are at least 6% lower than average will show as isEcoContender, with the delta % shown as ecoContenderDelta.

Sustainability data is accessible through an opt-in parameter includeSustainabilityData that can be sent when creating a search session.
