Economic activity is also environmentally friendly

Finnair is one of Europe's leading airlines in environmental matters. Our responsible attitude and transparent handling of environmental issues is an established aspect of the Group's business operations and its decision-making.

We systematically gather information on the environmental effects of the services we provide. This information is used to help Finnair uphold its commitment to constant development work for the improvement of environmental protection. We minimize the environmental effects of our operations in an economically reasonable manner without jeopardizing aviation safety.

Owing to the fall in demand in 2002, our level of activity was also reduced and this affected Finnair's environmental efficiency. Ecological efficiency per seat kilometre flown declined. The growth in cargo volume, on the other hand, also boosted operations from an environmental perspective. Emissions and fuel consumption per tonne kilometre decreased.
