Behaving responsibly towards the environment is an integral part of EFS corporate culture and that is why EFS are constantly striving to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions. EFS, and the aviation industry as a whole, are constantly looking for active programs and systems that will help to reduce gas emissions. Here are a few examples:
Through Technological Advances
– Manufacturers are developing lower emission engines, lighter aircraft, lighter equipment and alternate bio-fuel sources. Supersonic aircraft are being developed for business aviation that will significantly reduce flight times and fuel burn.
Through Operating Measures
– ATC and Eurocontrol are creating more direct routing, and fuel saving techniques for airport approach and departure procedures.
Through Infrastructure
– To make better use of available airspace and airports.
Through Economic Tools
- Voluntary carbon offsets, see below.
