In 2024, Air China completed a corporate carbon footprint assessment and publicly disclosed its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions according to the GHG Protocol, covering Scope 1 (direct emissions from owned or controlled sources) and Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy).
However, Air China has not published a category-level breakdown of its Scope 3 emissions, limiting visibility into specific value chain sources.

In 2024, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Air China amounted to 27,881,000 metric tons of CO2 equivalent. This figure includes both direct emissions from owned or controlled sources (Scope 1) and indirect emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2).a
Compared to 2023, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Air China increased by 22.33%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing its emissions from its core operations.ab
In 2024, the total Scope 1 emissions of Air China were 27,677,000 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2021, Air China's Scope 1 emissions have increased by 81.87%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.ac
Compared to the previous year (2023), Air China's Scope 1 emissions increased by 22.42%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from its directly owned or controlled operations.ab
In 2024, Air China reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 204,000 tCO₂e without specifying the calculation method.a
Since 2021, Air China's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Air China's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.ac
Compared to the previous year (2023), Air China's Scope 2 emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) rose by 11.48% in 2024, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from purchased electricity and energyab
In 2024, Air China reported its Scope 2 emissions using an unspecified methodology.a
In 2024, Air China reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 27,677,000 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 22,841 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 1,211.7 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Air China reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 1,211.7 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 879.58, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Air China ranked 21 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
This places Air China among the least efficient performers, with one of the highest emissions intensities in its sector.a
