Top 10: Global Airlines Based On Carbon Efficiency
New analysis by Brighter Planet, a global specialist in carbon accounting and mitigation, has rated the carbon efficiency of international airlines for travellers and exposes the inaccuracies of traditional methods of carbon accounting just as airline greenhouse gas emissions are coming under increased scrutiny around the world. The airlines searched as part of the initiative were: British Airways, KLM Royal Dutch, Lufthansa, Air France, Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, SWISS, Japan Airlines, Ryanair, Delta Air Lines, Continental Airlines, Northwest Airlines, Iberia, easyJet, United Airlines, American Airlines, Asiana Airlines, Air Canada, Korean Air and SAS.
“Energy efficiency per passenger mile varies tenfold across the entire industry,” said Patti Prairie, CEO of Brighter Planet. “The importance of our calculations is to show that businesses and individuals don’t necessarily have to cut out air travel or spend more time and money to be more environmentally sensitive, they just need better carbon intelligence.”
