DIRECT FLIGHTS, SHORT ROUTES AND PRACTICAL AIRPORT ARE MORE ECOFRIENDLY

Decreasing the environmental burden of the industry enables further growth of air travel and air freight in the future.

The cornerstones of Finnair's environmental operations are a modern, low-emission fleet and the shortest routes between continents. Customers can impact the amount of emissions their flight creates by choosing an airline with a modern fleet and direct routes.

Thanks to Helsinki's geographical position Finnair offers its customers the most direct flights between Europe and Asia, via Helsinki.

In addition to shortest routes, Finnair's home hub, the comfortable and functional Helsinki-Vantaa Airport, is known for short distances, which enable more eco-friendly ground operations.

•  Choice of aircraft is optimized and the best possible aircraft is selected for each route.
•  Taxiing is optimized at the airports.
•  Optimal speed and height are selected as well as the shortest possible route, taking winds into account.
•  Passenger & cargo load factor is maximized and weight of the aircraft minimized (seats, catering and service onboard).
•  CDA – continuous descent approach. ”Green approach” cooperation in Helsinki with Finavia from 2001.
