Environmental Governance
Our Sustainability and ESG group leads climate change -risk and -opportunity initiatives while performing additional risk and opportunity assessments related to possible emissions regulations on an on-going basis. To execute our critical environmental work, we employ a dedicated Sustainability and ESG leader and team to oversee the sustainability efforts of our entire airline and keep our leadership team and Board aware of climate related risks and opportunities when developing targets, strategy, performance, and budgets.
Operating an Efficient Fleet
Our investments in new next generation aircraft are expected to increase fuel efficiency and reduce costs. Our growing fleet of Airbus 321new aircraft are improving fuel economy by approximately 20% per seat. Further, JetBlue continues to take delivery of Airbus A220 aircraft, reducing emissions by up to 35% per seat compared to the aircraft they are replacing.
Reducing Fuel Burn
Fuel optimization is our key priority, as we aim to develop data-driven strategies that can minimize fuel consumption, reduce costs, and in turn, reduce emissions. Our cross-functional Fuel Optimization Team focuses entirely on fuel savings opportunities.
