    How does carbon offsetting work?

    Carbon offsetting is an effective means of funding carbon reduction on the ground to compensate for emissions associated with your flight. By paying to offset emissions in our Fly Greener carbon offset programme, you are contributing to the purchase of carbon credits generated by projects that reduce the emission of greenhouse gases. These carbon credits are then effectively "retired" to ensure that they cannot be sold or used again.
