Air Tahiti Nui ofrece a sus pasajeros la posibilidad de compensar voluntariamente las emisiones de sus viajes
In order to offer passengers the possibility of offsetting the environmental impact of their travel, Air Tahiti Nui signed a new partnership with a New Zealand start-up, CarbonClick. This partnership is part of the company's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) approach, aimed at raising awareness about global warming.
Offset 50% of the CO2 emissions of your travels, Air Tahiti Nui pays the remaining 50%.
Para ofrecer a los clientes la posibilidad de compensar el impacto medioambiental de sus viajes, Air Tahiti Nui firmó en diciembre de 2020 una nueva asociación con una empresa emergente neozelandesa, CarbonClick. Esta asociación forma parte de la estrategia de responsabilidad social corporativa (RSC) de la empresa, cuyo objetivo es concienciar sobre el calentamiento climático.
Compense el 50% de las emisiones de CO2 de sus viajes, Air Tahiti Nui paga el 50% restante.
Travelers can choose to support one of the 3 projects selected below on the CarbonClick platform:
- The reforestation of a native forest in Canterbury, New Zealand
- Native woodland creation, increasing biodiversity and ecological benefits in Cumbria, England
- Protecting the Klawock Heenya Forest on Prince of Wales Island, Alaska
Carbon offsetting is a concrete and reliable way to contribute to the common efforts needed to limit the impact of global warming.

"We are delighted with the partnership between Air Tahiti Nui and the CarbonClick team. It's a great collaboration, which will certainly be enriching for both partners.” says Daniel Eggenberger, General Manager for Air Tahiti Nui New Zealand and Australia.
For Michel Monvoisin, CEO of Air Tahiti Nui, “This new option will allow those who wish to do so to reduce their footprint. They will thus be able to support the greenhouse gases emissions reduction policy that we have been pursuing since 2015 and which has enabled us to achieve a notable -17% reduction in our CO2 emissions in 2019 (thanks to the combined effect of our new fleet of more efficient aircraft and an internal action program). Aware of our mission to contribute to the economic recovery of the country, our ambition is to go further in this direction and to develop this carbon offsetting program. In a second phase, our goal is to eventually integrate environmental projects localized in French Polynesia, to further enhance local mobilizations and thus continue to support the many local initiatives aimed at preserving the destination.”
What is voluntary carbon offsetting and why offset your emissions?
Carbon offsetting consists of "reabsorbing" the emissions from one's activity (travel, housing energy, etc.) by financing carbon offsetting programs aimed at storing CO2 (via tree planting) or reducing them at the source by promoting the use of renewable alternatives (e.g. biogas, solar cookers, etc.) generally located in developing countries. Each emission offset corresponds to a carbon credit.
We speak of "voluntary" offsetting when the individual or company offsetting is not obliged to do so (contrary to a regulatory obligation imposed in certain countries and sectors) to reduce its ecological footprint.
