Christchurch Airport Sets Global Precedent In Aviation Emissions Monitoring
Press Release – Christchurch Airport A key part of Christchurch Airports sustainability journey has been tracking and reducing their own on-the-ground airport operational emissions. This new tool builds on that work by offering advanced insights into aviation-related emissions from aircraft … Christchurch Airport has taken another step forward in its sustainability journey, becoming the first airport in the world to adopt a new hi-tech emissions tracking platform. The move strengthens the airport's position as a global leader in climate action. Traditionally, flight emissions data has been gathered annually, and split into categories such a domestic, regional and international. As the first airport in the Southern Hemisphere to achieve Level 5 in the Airport Carbon Accreditation programme, the Airport is now using the PACE Airports platform to better understand the emissions generated from flights in greater detail. This helps to inform data-led conversations and the longer-term transition requirements for the airline partners coming into Christchurch Airport. A key part of Christchurch Airport's sustainability journey has been tracking and reducing their own on-the-ground airport operational emissions. This new tool builds on that work by offering advanced insights into aviation-related emissions from aircraft using their airport. Analysing these emissions at a more granular level helps better understand the transition challenges facing the wider aviation sector. The platform delivers up-to-date emissions data covering over 99% of commercial flights worldwide, tracking more than 370,000 individual routes and utilising over 10 billion flight data points. The system calculates emissions down to the type of engines an aircraft is using and can be tailored to local conditions. Claire Waghorn, Sustainability Transition Leader at Christchurch Airport, said: 'Our key focus on this sustainability journey has been reducing our own operational emissions and then seeking to support our wider sector reductions. The insight from this platform offers us data to consider the aviation-related emissions across the entire airport operations.' The innovative system, PACE Airports has been developed by Fexco, an Irish global fintech and financial services company. Christchurch Airport is the first airport in the world to adopt the system, which is already trusted by leading banks and aviation financiers to track aviation-related emissions across the global aviation sector. Bertie Murphy, Chief Strategy Officer at Fexco Group, said: 'We're excited to have Christchurch Airport, a sustainability leader, utilise our platform. We strive to be the trusted source of aviation emissions data. We look forward to helping Christchurch Airport achieve its emissions reduction targets with our data and insights'.

New software aims to help airports reduce carbon emissions
New software has been launched to track aviation emissions in real time. PACE Airports by Fexco aims to support airports deliver on their emissions reduction targets. This week the Financial Times reported that European airline emissions are on course to exceed pre-pandemic levels this year. This is despite a global commitment by the sector to reach net-zero by 2050 - through a mix of new technologies, alternative fuels and more efficient aircraft, engines and air traffic management. Fexco says its software offers real-time aviation emissions reporting that allows sustainability teams to focus on the actions rather than the calculations. It said the platform was initially launched with aircraft financiers to support them, with emissions reporting and insights on aircraft within their portfolio. Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, the Chief Strategy Officer with the Fexco Group, Bertie Murphy, said PACE Airports has live data at the click of a button. "They have insights from the platform allowing them to focus on embedding sustainability right across their aviation operational processes," said Mr Murphy. "They can see key performance indicators that allow them to measure progress against reducing their emissions and more importantly, they can understand the opportunities for reduction as well with the insights from the platform." Fexco announced that Christchurch Airport in New Zealand is their first customer on the platform. Christchurch Airport is a global leader in sustainable airport management and a pioneer in the Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) programme. It is the first airport in the world to reach level 4 in 2020 and to achieve level 5 accreditation in 2023. It is among only 18 other airports worldwide to achieve this rating. The airport said they chose PACE Airports so they can track, analyse and action live data rather than on an annual basis. The Sustainability Transition Leader at Christchurch Airport Claire Waghorn said that Christchurch Airport has always leaned into sustainability and innovation. "We first started tracking our emissions in 2006, and we have continually challenged what more we can do in decarbonisation through innovation and adaptability," said Ms Waghorn. "Our strategy has always been data-driven, and PACE unlocks a new level of insight and intelligence that is really exciting for us as we continue our sustainability journey. "At Christchurch Airport, our key focus on this sustainability journey has always been optimising our entire operations to reduce emissions; the insights from the PACE Airports platform now give us data to consider our aviation-related emissions across the entire airport operations."
