Reducing carbon emissions

Goal by 2015: We will operate Europe’s most fuel-efficient airlines and save more than 20,000 tonnes of carbon from our ground operations

We will measure this through TUI Travel airlines’ average carbon emissions per revenue passenger kilometre (CO2/RPK) and CO2 saved from our major premises, retail outlets, brochure paper production, differentiated hotels and fleets of vehicles (against 2011 baseline).
