Why Singapore Airlines Group lands here
Strong operational platform, but weaker customer and contrail differentiation.
That is 21.3 points behind the best-scoring carrier in the world, which itself only reaches 78.5. No carrier reaches 80, and 13 of 32 score below half marks.
What this score is built from
Eight decision areas, weighted by what moves emissions now
Each area is graded against what Singapore Airlines Group publishes, then scaled by how well that work is evidenced. Contrail avoidance carries the same weight as sustainable aviation fuel, because both are available today.

If you work at Singapore Airlines Group
