SUSTAINABILITY

Homepage
About us
Sustainability

Here at flybe, we love the benefits and convenience that air travel can bring.
And we are committed to making air travel a choice that is genuinely
environmentally sustainable.

Our regional network means we can connect people and businesses far quicker than
any other transport method. Our customers can fly from their local airport,
close to home, eliminating the need to drive further to reach larger airports.

And we provide many routes where no overland alternative is available.

Most importantly, we’re doing this with aircraft that have a lower carbon
footprint by design.

Our environmental impact is something we take very seriously, and the new flybe
will be a responsible, community-based airline that recognises the importance of
sustainability in all we do.

Here’s what we’ve undertaken so far…


IN THE AIR

Our first major step towards reducing our carbon footprint is our choice of
aircraft.

flybe’s De Havilland Canada Dash 8-400 turboprop aircraft are on average 40-60%
more carbon efficient than standard jet aircraft – and that means we are
emitting far less CO2 than many other airlines.

These aircraft are also smaller than their jet equivalents which allows us to
fill our flights on regional services, making each journey more efficient. Our
pilots and engineers constantly seek to minimise fuel consumption. For example,
we only use one engine when taxiing on the ground wherever possible.

Our new Cabin Crew uniforms have been designed with sustainability in mind, too.
Fifteen recycled plastic bottles are used in the material for each suit. This
next generation of fabric is more durable and longer lasting, and when a suit
has reached the end of its life, it gets recycled by our supplier rather than
going to landfill.

Our chosen supplier, Murray Uniforms in Coventry, is local to our Birmingham
base and committed to reducing their carbon footprint across all aspects of the
business, from design to deliveries.


ON THE GROUND

Noise from aircraft can have a significant impact on local people living and
working close to airports. flybe’s fleet of aircraft are significantly quieter
on take-off and landing than jet aircraft used by other carriers.

We also work closely with airport partners, local housing planners and air
traffic controllers to make sure that those living under flightpaths do not
suffer excessive disruption to their lives from flybe’s operations.


OUR FUTURE PLANS


IN THE COMMUNITY

Our regional network means we have a responsibility to the communities we serve
in terms of the economic growth we stimulate and our impact on the local
environment. Our future plans include reaching out to those communities to
explore how we can help them thrive economically, socially and environmentally.


WITH OUR PARTNERS

Sustainability is a core consideration in the selection of partners we work with
in the future. And we’ll be exploring carbon offsetting opportunities that will
further help reduce our emissions impact.
