2023 U.S.-Booked Air Volume: $47.5 million
Consolidated U.S. TMC: Amex GBT
Shipping and logistics giant United Parcel Service's
U.S.-booked air volume in 2023 was about $47.5 million, according to a BTN
estimate, about the same as it was last year.
The company's 2023 business air and rail travel, as well as
car rentals, together generated about 47,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide
equivalent, down from about 48,000 the year prior. Those figures exclude UPS
hotel stays.
UPS has a goal of carbon neutrality, including the Scope 3
emissions generated by business travel, by 2050. Itself an airline, UPS also
has committed to using sustainable aviation fuel as 30 percent of its air
network fuel mix by 2035.
The company's 2023 revenue declined 9 percent year over year
to nearly $91 billion. UPS in 2023 had about 500,000 employees worldwide.
