Prince Harry's new mega-project with Google has got off to a "flying start", royal biographer and friend of the Sussexes Omid Scobie has revealed.<\/p>\n

Google today announced a new initiative with with Harry's non-profit organisation, Travalyst.<\/p>\n

The search engine giant will be teaming up with the ex-royal's company to develop a model for calculating carbon emissions from air travel and will be used across the industry as gold standard.<\/p>\n

The royal biographer who co-authored 'Finding Freedom' revealed that the project had started off well, Express reports. <\/p>\n

"Google\u2019s partnership with Prince Harry\u2019s Travalyst is off to a flying start," he said.<\/p>\n

"The company announced today they will now report carbon emissions data for all flights.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"This is alongside the fuel-efficient routing options just added to Google Maps."<\/p>\n

Harry last month welcomed Google to his Travalyst sustainable initiative.<\/p>\n

The ex-royal's company claimed the partnership was a significant step forward in the pursuit of helping consumers to make more sustainable choices.<\/p>\n

In a statement on its website, the company says: "Travalyst is a non-profit organisation working to identify \u2013 and help bring about \u2013 the systemic changes needed in order for sustainable travel to be taken out of the niche, and into the mainstream.<\/p>\n

"We believe tourism can, and must, play a key role in achieving a sustainable future for our world; so we\u2019re convening the key players, and catalysing the necessary action, to change the impact of travel, for good.<\/p>\n

"We are committed to being a driving force that redefines what it means to travel, helping everyone explore our world in a way that protects both people and places, and secures a positive future for destinations and local communities for generations to come."<\/p>\n

Travalyst is also partnered with Booking.com, Skyscanner, Trip.com Group, Tripadvisor, and Visa.<\/p>\n
