DUB – AMS. Flying from Dublin Airport to Schiphol: Plane Spotting with Purpose
Ever peered out the plane window and wondered what stories those aircraft out there could tell?
On a recent flight from Dublin Airport to Schiphol Airport, plane spotting nirvana was enabled by my iPhone camera and curiosity. The result: a vivid gallery of aircraft encounters – from workhorse jets to elegant heavies – captured in the liminal space between two of Europe’s most iconic air hubs.
But these aren’t just cool aviation photos. They tell a story of where aviation’s been—and where it’s going. Because every one of these flights is a chance to do something extraordinary: remove carbon from the atmosphere.
Dublin to Schiphol Airport plane spotting – The History Behind the Hubs
Dublin Airport (DUB) first opened in 1940, handling just a few thousand passengers a year. Today, it’s Ireland’s busiest airport and a key gateway between Europe and North America. With over 30 million annual passengers, it’s the launchpad for many a journey—and, increasingly, a target for greener aviation solutions.
Amsterdam Schiphol (AMS) dates back even further, opening in 1916 as a military airbase built on reclaimed land. It has grown into one of the world’s top five international airports, serving over 60 million passengers annually. Known for its efficiency and sustainability leadership, Schiphol is investing heavily in electric ground operations and net zero emissions by 2030.
Both airports now sit at a crossroads—literally and figuratively—as aviation charts a course toward decarbonisation.
From Spotting Planes to Removing Carbon
Tao Climate’s approach is simple and powerful:
- We measure CO₂ emissions per flight, down to the passenger level.
- We offer carbon removal credits, generated by hemp-based construction in Ukraine.
- We share revenue with our Ukrainian partners, helping rebuild homes while pulling carbon from the sky.
- And we aim to integrate this seamlessly into every airline’s digital experience.
Imagine this: you’re checking out on your next Ryanair or KLM flight, and you see a simple tick box:
“Remove the carbon from this flight — Help build homes in Ukraine.”
With just one click, you’re no longer just flying—you’re making aviation history.

We’re piloting this carbon removal technology right now—and we want you involved. Whether you’re an airline, airport, traveller or climate innovator, Tao Climate is here to help rewrite the story of flying.
And for fellow aviation lovers: plane spotting doesn’t just have to be a hobby. It can become a portal into the future of cleaner skies.
At Tao Climate, we measure the CO2 emissions from every business flight that we take. We then purchase carbon removal credits from our partner project in Ukraine. Transparent compliance reports available to all our stakeholders.
