International air freight short haul - without RF effect
1.217kgCO2e/tonne-km
Emission factor summary
Emission intensity of short haul freight flight (to/from UK) excluding emissions from combustion and radiative forcing (RF) effect reflecting impact of contrails and high-altitude release of GHGs but not upstream fuel emissions. 8% distance uplift applied for indirect nature of flights.
