A consumer class action lawsuit claims Delta Air Lines inaccurately billed itself as the world's “first carbon-neutral airline” and should pay damages.
FILE - A Delta Air Lines plane takes off from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Atlanta, Nov. 22, 2022. A consumer class action lawsuit filed Tuesday, May 30, 2023, claims Delta Air Lines inaccurately billed itself as the world's “first carbon-neutral airline” and should pay damages. The complaint in California federal court alleges the airline relied on carbon offsets that were largely bogus.
Delta is a big customer, purchasing credits from projects including wind and solar projects in India and an Indonesian swamp forest, the lawsuit says.The case, filed by Glendale, California resident Mayanna Berrin, claims to act on behalf of anyone who flew Delta while living in the state since March 2020. It says benefits from the offsets are likely to be temporary and would have happened even without the firm's investment.
Berrin argues this enabled the firm to gain market share and charge higher prices. A writer for Nickelodeon, Berrin told The AP she is about to enter her thirties and climate anxiety is pronounced in people her age. “They can’t just claim neutrality if that’s not factually accurate,” she said. “Lawsuits in general are very scary, and there are a lot of people who echo my frustrations who may not know their rights or the impact they can make by speaking up.”
