Which airport had the most private jet traffic during Art Basel Paris 2025 2025?
Carbon Sky Index monitored traffic across Paris, Toussus-Le-Noble, and LFPO. The highest volume of arriving aircraft came from Geneva, with 15 inbound flights recorded.
How does Carbon Sky Index track private jet emissions?
Carbon Sky Index uses ADS-B transponder data to identify private jet movements at monitored airports. CO₂ estimates are calculated per flight using the EUROCONTROL EMEP/EEA Guidebook 2023 methodology, which accounts for aircraft type, route distance, and both LTO and cruise phase fuel burn. Data is updated daily.
Flight data is sourced from ADS-B transponder signals aggregated from a global receiver network and updated daily. CO₂ estimates are calculated using aircraft-type hourly burn rates from the Carbon Sky Index emissions model. Read methodology →
