Valuing our planet


We recognise that air travel is currently not environmentally sustainable. That’s why we are committed to taking steps, in the air and on the ground, to reduce our impact on the environment and playing our part to help enable future generations to experience the wonder of air travel.

Our approach

In 2019, we were one of the first airlines in the world to announce our target of net zero emissions by 2050 and capping our net Scope 1 and 2 emissions at 2019 levels.  In March 2022, we announced new emission targets as part of our Group Climate Action Plan (PDF) (CAP), which includes:

25% reduction in net Scope 1 and 2 emissions from 2019 levels by 2030.

10% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in fuel mix by 2030.

Zero single-use plastics by 2027.

Zero onshore general waste to landfill by 2030.
