Caribbean Airlines has teamed up with the CarbonNeutral Company to introduce a carbon offsetting programme.
Passengers can now calculate the rate of their flight’s carbon emissions on the airline’s website and offset them by contributing towards eco-friendly projects such as renewable energy and reforestation.
Caribbean Airlines CEO Peter Davies claimed the airline, which was launched on January 1 2007 as the national carrier for Trinidad and Tobago, was the first in the region to offer such a programme to its passengers.
“We are proud that our passengers can partner with us in choosing how their carbon offsets are applied,” he said.
