Ryanair's emission reduction targets approved

Europe's leading airline commits to reducing carbon emissions by 27% by 2031, in line with the Paris Agreement

With the approval by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), Ryanair strengthens its position as a leader in the aviation industry in terms of sustainability. The company's main objective is to contribute to the reduction of global carbon emissions in accordance with the Paris Agreement, which aims to keep the global temperature increase below 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.

By adopting new aviation technologies, such as the Boeing MAX-10 aircraft, Ryanair is committed to improving fuel efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions per passenger, while also leveraging the increased use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF).

The introduction of these new aircraft will not only ensure greater efficiency, but also an optimization of operating costs, allowing the company to maintain competitive fares.

The approval of short-term sustainability targets is a decisive step for Ryanair, but its plan does not stop there. The company aims to remain at the forefront in the long term as well, with the ultimate goal of achieving zero emissions by 2050. This commitment to sustainable mobility not only demonstrates Ryanair's corporate responsibility towards the environment, but also its willingness to contribute to a greener future for the global aviation industry.

SBTi (Science Based Targets Initiative)
