EasyJet Airline is going to compensate the CO2 emissions of all its passengers as standard. The low coster starts immediately with this. The British company is also investing money in research into hybrid and electric aircraft together with aircraft maker Airbus.

Furthermore, easyJet is going to reduce its own emissions in other ways. This is possible, for example, through the use of renewable energy for its support services. The company also looks at aircraft that taxi with an electric engine instead of jet engines.
