Ryanair today (7 Jan) released its December CO₂ emissions statistics, which show an ave. of 69g CO₂ per passenger/km.

Ryanair’s Kenny Jacobs said:

 “With the youngest fleet and highest load factors, Ryanair is Europe’s greenest/cleanest major airline. Our CO₂ per passenger/km is the lowest in the industry, having been cut from 82g to 66g p.a. over the last decade while other high fare competitors currently generate over 120g per pax/km.

The single most important thing any consumer can do to reduce their carbon footprint is switch to Ryanair. We are pleased to announce that our CO₂ per pax/km for December was 69g, half the rate of other flag carrier European airlines, and we are committed to reducing this by a further 10% to under 60g per pax/km by 2030.”
