I'm super excited to help bring this concept to the GBTA Convention audience! It's not a slam dunk, as you'll hear pros and cons. Come listen and weigh in on this innovative but unproven concept!

Carbon-based airline contracts could significantly impact business travel by shifting the focus towards mutual carbon reductions between buyers and airlines. This innovative approach aims to align both parties on climate goals, moving away from traditional discount-based contracts. It encourages a collaborative effort towards sustainability, potentially transforming procurement strategies and airline operations to prioritize carbon efficiency.
