Summary
What the Numbers Mean
A 1,000-mile round-trip economy flight for one person emits about 570 kg CO2e after the 1.9 RFI — equal to driving 1,425 miles in an average car, and needing 29 trees to offset for a year. The same flight in first class emits over 1,100 kg.
Factors Behind the Numbers
Per-mile factors rise for short hops (0.25 kg/mi — takeoff-heavy) and fall for long-haul cruise (0.12 kg/mi). Cabin multipliers (economy 1, premium 1.5, business 2.9, first 4.0) reflect space per passenger. The RFI of 1.9 accounts for contrails and nitrogen oxides at altitude.
