ARRIVALS<br />

EVERYONE'S TALKING ABOUT...<br />

Aviation emissions<br />

RYANAIR<br />

IS THE ONLY<br />

“TECHNOLOGY AIRLINE NAMED DOESN’T AMONG<br />

RESCUE EUROPE’S YOU TOP BUT TEN IT POLLUTERS,<br />

PROVIDES<br />

CONFIDENCE A CHART OTHERWISE AND VISIBILITY. COMPRISED YOUR<br />

TMC OF COAL-FIRED SHOULD HAVE POWER THE PLANTS. PROCESS<br />

AND PROCEDURES TO RUN REPORTS<br />

HOWEVER EMISSIONS ARE<br />

AND HELP YOU REACH THOSE<br />

GROWING MORE RAPIDLY AT<br />

AFFECTED BY AN INCIDENT”<br />

EIGHT Ewan Kassir, OTHER Head of AIRLINES,<br />

Sales, Clarity<br />

EU DATA SUGGESTS<br />

“Aviation is Europe’s biggest climate failure.<br />

<strong>The</strong> worst thing we can do is to put all our<br />

hopes in an offsetting scheme that gives<br />

airlines a license to grow indefinitely”<br />

Andrew Murphy, Aviation Manager, Transport & Environment<br />

“AS AN INDUSTRY IT’S IMPORTANT WE WORK TOGETHER TO<br />

REDUCE THE SECTOR’S ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT. IT’S<br />

REFRESHING TO SEE SO MANY GTMC MEMBERS AND PARTNERS<br />

INVESTING IN SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGIES, BUT WE ENCOURAGE<br />

MORE TO DO SO IN ORDER TO FUTURE-PROOF THE SECTOR”<br />

Adrian Parkes, Chief Executive Officer, GTMC<br />

As we prepare<br />

to expand our<br />

airport, we’re working<br />

with airlines to<br />

encourage fierce<br />

competition for the top<br />

spot of the ‘Fly Quiet &<br />

Green’ league table”<br />

Matt Gorman, Heathrow’s Director of Sustainability<br />

Michael Gill,<br />

Executive<br />

Director,<br />

Action Group<br />

“IT IS ABSOLUTELY INCORRECT TO SAY THAT<br />

AIRLINES ARE NOT TAKING CLIMATE ACTION<br />

SERIOUSLY. AIRLINES ARE HEAVILY ENGAGED IN<br />

SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVING FUEL EFFICIENCY”<br />

“Ryanair is the greenest airline in Europe. Our CO2<br />

per passenger km is 67g, which is 25% lower than<br />

the other big European airlines. Our environmental<br />

policy commits to further reducing this to 61.4g by<br />

2030 – 31% lower than other big airlines in Europe”<br />

Ryanair spokesperson<br />
