Jet2 Net Zero
Here at Jet2holidays, we know that holidays are amazing. We also know that travel needs to be sustainable, so we can keep enjoying trips for the long term. By booking with us, you’re choosing a holiday provider that takes its environmental impact seriously. We’re already one of the most efficient airlines, ranked 11th by Atmosfair for climate efficiency out of over 200 airlines, and emitting less C02 per passenger per km than the industry average. How? Our efforts over the last decade to reduce our impact through an efficient flying programme, waste reduction scheme and electrification programme.
But now we’re doing even more.
Our new ‘Jet2 Net Zero’ strategy considers sustainability at every stage of the journey – on the ground, in the air and in resort. And it’ll help us reach our target of net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
What do we mean by “carbon covered”?
In a nutshell, we promise to offset every tonne of carbon dioxide our company emits that’s not already covered by our contribution to existing government schemes. Offsetting means we invest in environmental projects that reduce carbon emissions across the world, equivalent to the amount of carbon we emit. But carbon offsetting isn’t all we’re doing. Over the last decade we’ve worked hard to reduce our carbon emissions through an efficient flying programme by investing in our fleet. And from this year, our offices are now running off renewable electric energy, and our Jet2.com ground handling operations at our airports will be carbon neutral too. And we won’t stop there. In the next few years, we’ll bring new, more efficient planes into our fleet, use sustainable aviation fuel, produce a hotel sustainability charter, and continue to dramatically reduce our plastic usage. It’s all part of our mission to make flying more sustainable in the future.
Holidays for everyone, all year round
Increased efficiency
Since 2010 we’ve saved 1.8 million tonnes of CO2
Our commitments to you
- Reduce our CO2 per passenger 10% by 2030.
- All our carbon will be covered by offsetting all emissions not covered by existing carbon pricing mechanisms.
- Committed to using UK produced Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) by 2026.
- More than 50% of our ground service equipment (GSE), will be powered by electricity, either fully electric or hybrid, or by biodiesel by 2023.
- Reduce single use plastics by 80% across all our flights compared with 2019 levels. This is equivalent to removing 11 million items by 2023 and relates to items Jet2.com purchases directly cups, cutlery, stirrers, drink lids and plastic bags.
- Reduce our net emissions significantly though our carbon offsetting scheme, purchasing new aircraft and continuing our efficiency improvements.
