-10% emissions per passenger
Improve the efficiency of our flights, by reducing grams of CO2 per passenger and kilometre travelled.
Goal:
net-zero
emissions by 2050
Change starts with us
We are well aware that the aviation sector must be a part of the change. That's why we have set ourselves an ambitious goal: to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.
And little by little we're getting there. According to IBA, Iberia is the world's second best-performing airline in terms of reducing the CO2 output of its long-haul flights: down 17% per seat kilometre since 2019.
What is climate neutrality or net-zero emissions?
To avoid the worst impacts of climate change, the increase in global average temperature should not exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, as stated in the Paris Agreement. However, in the last decade, the global average temperature of the planet's surface has already increased by 1.1°C.
It is therefore urgent to contain this warming, and, in order to achieve this, emissions must reduced to as close to zero as possible. As in 2050 there will still be some residual emissions, these must be extracted from the atmosphere through natural mechanisms, such as oceans and forests, but also with the help of new technologies, which allow us to achieve the goal of net-zero emissions.
OUR
GOALS
-20% net emissions
Reduce our emissions by 20% in the coming years, both in our direct and indirect activity, that is, both in the consumption of fuel and electricity and in our value chain.
Net-zero emissions
Achieve climate neutrality both in our operations and in the value chain (including our suppliers' emissions).
WE STRIVE TO OFFER
MORE EFFICIENT
FLIGHTS
To meet our emission reduction targets, we have to make our flights more sustainable. In order to achieve this, we need to take certain measures such as the renewal of our aircraft, with more modern and efficient models; in-flight and ground operations that use less fuel; and strong support for the development and use of sustainable aviation fuel.
Travel in more efficient planes
When you fly with us, we want to take you on planes that have the lowest possible environmental impact
WE STRIVE
TO BE EFFICIENT
ON THE GROUND
SINCE 2015, WE HAVE RENEWED
80%
of our ground equipment.
17%
of our ground equipment is fully electric.
WE USE CATALYSTS
to reduce fuel consumption
and, consequently, the equipment's emissions into the atmosphere.
WE PROMOTE THE USE
OF RENEWABLE ENERGY
Since 2019, all the electricity used in our buildings comes from renewable sources. And in 2021 we launched our self-consumption plant, which takes up the entire roof of our engine workshop in La Muñoza, which is next to the Madrid airport.
