Tui Travel races ahead in bid to reduce carbon emissions




Tui Travel's airlines have increased their carbon reduction target after achieving their initial target two years early.

Tui said the target to reduce carbon by 6% was achieved through operational efficiencies, fuel conservation activities, capacity amendments and airline enhancements. The original target was set to be achieved between 2008 and 2014.

The group today launched its latest Sustainable Holidays Report as it announced plans to raise its carbon reduction target to 9%, meaning it has two years to save an additional 3%.

The report is part of the Sustainable Holidays Plan which was created last year and comprises 20 challenges and measurable commitments, with four over-arching goals to achieve.

The goals set were for Tui to operate Europe's most fuel-efficient airlines and to reduce carbon on the ground by 20,000 tonnes, to take 10 million customers on greener holidays and to be considered a leader in sustainable holidays by colleagues and customers.

The report highlights that Tui Travel saved £16 million during the 2012 financial year through environmental efficiencies. During 2013, Tui made significant investments to help it reach its green targets, including the Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft which is forecast to emit 20% less CO2 per passenger than comparable aircraft.

The group has also committed to buying 60 Being 737 MAX aircraft.
