PACE

Core Features

PACE is structured as a modular platform, with each product tailored to a specific aviation stakeholder group. Rather than offering a single generic carbon accounting tool, it applies a consistent emissions methodology across different use cases, allowing organisations to analyse aviation emissions from their particular operational or financial perspective. Its main modules are:

• PACE for Airports -Automatically captures global flight movements and calculates Scope 3 emissions across all flight phases (taxi, take-off, cruise, landing), supporting airport-level reporting and initiatives such as Airport Carbon Accreditation.

• PACE for Banks - Provides airline-level emissions data linked to lending portfolios, enabling banks to benchmark financed emissions and support reporting under frameworks such as IFRS S1/S2.

• PACE for Lessors - Tracks individual aircraft within leasing portfolios, delivering flight-by-flight emissions data and operational alerts, while supporting scenario modelling for fleet changes and sustainable aviation fuel adoption.

• PACE for Underwriters - Enables insurers and export credit agencies to calculate emissions linked to underwriting exposure, incorporating airline data and participation factors to support regulatory reporting and risk assessment.

• PACE for Corporate Travel (BlueSkies) - Calculates emissions from employee travel using detailed flight data, helping organisations improve travel-related reporting and make more informed booking and policy decisions.

Closing Insights

PACE was developed within Fexco, with its product strategy led by founder and Chief Product Officer Rob Neale, who brings experience in fintech and sustainability-focused digital platforms. The platform reflects Fexco’s broader involvement in aviation services, particularly in aircraft leasing and finance, which shapes its emphasis on financed and operational emissions.

Its user base spans multiple parts of the aviation value chain. Financial institutions such as JP Morgan and SMBC Aviation Capital use PACE to assess financed emissions, while Christchurch Airport has adopted PACE Airports to support data-driven emissions management. These examples illustrate how the platform addresses different carbon accounting needs—from portfolio-level risk analysis to operational emissions tracking.

Recent developments include expansion into airport and corporate travel modules, extending coverage beyond aviation finance into operational and end-user emissions. PACE’s reliance on high-frequency flight data—covering over 99% of commercial flights—positions it as a key option for organisations requiring audit-ready Scope 3 calculations.
