The utilization of a voluntary carbon offset mechanism is becoming a clear market
trend. It is also a way for the airlines to
get used to the mandatory regulations that will be enforced in the EU for 2012.
Voluntary carbon offset programs provide individuals with an opportunity to
relate to the climate change issue in a straightforward personal way. In the
travel industry, there is an interest in identifying air travel carbon emissions for the purposes of showing environmental
leadership. This issue has prompted some major legacy carriers to invest in
