Here’s how you can offset carbon emissions while flying at Austin’s airport

Published on January 3, 2017 under CommunityImpact

Austin-Bergstrom International Airport announced Tuesday a program that allows passengers to pay $2 to offset carbon emissions for 1,000 miles of flying. The Good Traveler Program, which was launched a year ago by San Diego International Airport, is available at a handful of airports in the U.S. ABIA became the first airport to pilot expansion of the program, according to a city news release. “Austin’s airport has worked to minimize its environmental impact starting with its construction in the 1990s. Now our travelers have the opportunity to personally make air travel more sustainable,” said Jim Smith, executive director of ABIA.
