Fiji Airways states it has reduced its carbon footprint by minimising portable water uplift onboard to 50 per cent capacity for long haul flights, and 25 per cent for medium haul flights.
This is stated in its 2023 annual report that was tabled in Parliament recently.
The company states it has four Airbus A350-900 aircraft and five Boeing 737 Max 8 in its fleet, which are among the most fuel-efficient aircraft in the world.
“The new generation technology aircraft have been a primary focus to reduce emissions – SkyBreathe software has been integrated to allow more transparent reporting of fuel usage trends and carbon dioxide emissions,” states the report.
“With the Department of Forestry Every take-off, One tree initiative has soared with the planting of over 75,000 mangroves serenely nestled along Fiji’s coastal havens.”
Fiji Airways states its amenity kits now use sustainable paper and wood-based packaging and products, further reducing use of plastics onboard.
“This switch will result in millions of single use plastic items being progressively eliminated from our supply chain,” the report states
“We launched an office waste recycling program, segregating waste into four streams, three of which are recycled.
“This has diverted 25 per cent of our office waste from landfills, and the percentage is growing.”
