Pegasus Airlines sets midterm emissions target
As a supporter of IATA’s resolution to achieve ‘Net Zero Carbon Emissions by 2050’, Pegasus Airlines has set its interim target for 2030 to reinforce this commitment.
Managing its operations and activities under a ‘sustainable environment’ approach, Pegasus aims to reduce flight-related CO2 emissions per unit passenger kilometre by 20% by 2030 compared to 2019 levels.
Pegasus Airlines CEO Mehmet T. Nane said: "We are restructuring all our operations and activities in line with this goal. Within the framework of our fleet transformation strategy, we foresee that we will reduce our emissions by increasing the number of our more fuel-efficient NEO model aircraft."
As we manage all our operations and activities under a ‘sustainable environment’ approach, we will continue to work tirelessly towards our goal to become the greenest airline in Turkey."
Pegasus Airlines’ efforts focus on reducing emissions at source by implementing operational improvements such as a younger fleet, purchasing low-emission aircraft models, reducing aircraft weight and route optimisation.
It publishes its carbon footprint on a monthly basis on the investor relations website.
Pegasus’ medium-term objectives focus on supporting carbon offsetting projects; and in the long term, using Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs and carbon capture tech.
