Private jets flying to and from Dubai World Cup 2026 2026 emitted an estimated 33 metric tonnes of CO₂ in total. Carbon Sky Index calculates emissions using the EUROCONTROL EMEP/EEA Guidebook 2023 methodology, covering both LTO (landing and takeoff) and cruise phase emissions.
Which airport had the most private jet traffic during Dubai World Cup 2026 2026?
Carbon Sky Index monitored traffic across OMDB, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi. The highest volume of arriving aircraft came from Turbat, with 1 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 →
