The airline said yesterday technicians recently installed equipment on one of its Airbus A330 airplanes that will collect atmospheric air samples from takeoff to landing and record key high-altitude greenhouse gas measurements.
The project is run by an international not-for-profit organization based in Belgium called In-service Aircraft for a Global Observing System.
Members include research organisations, universities and weather services from Germany, France and the United Kingdom. The data are used by about 200 universities in Europe, the United States, Japan, South America, India and China.
