We have an environmental code, based on three promises
| 1. To be environmentally efficient in the air |
| 2. To be environmentally efficient on the ground |
| 3. To lead in shaping a greener future for aviation, for example: |
| - carbon offsetting |
| - shaping future aircraft design - for example, the ecoJet |
| easyJet high efficiency = lower emissions = low fares |

Carbon offset with easyJet
We balance the effect of the carbon emitted from your flight by supporting UN certified projects like Perlabi Hydroelectric in Ecuador.

Our Promises...
In the air
A traditional airline flying the same route as us, using the same plane, emits 27% more carbon per passenger km. easyJet is proud to fly:
- Newer planes - our average fleet age is 2.3 years
- Fuller planes - we sell on average 85% of the seats on our higher seat density planes
- Short-haul, direct trips only
On the ground
We're reducing emissions on the ground too by:
- Using less ground equipment
- Using more airports with good public transport links
For a greener future
We are leading the way to a greener future through initiatives like carbon offsetting and our ecoJet aircraft design (see Press Release)
