Britain’s easyJet wants to become the world’s first major airline to operate net-zero carbon flights across its network
LONDON - Britain’s easyJet is implementing plans to become the world’s first major airline to operate with net-zero carbon across its flight network, the budget carrier said on Tuesday as it also flagged improving bookings after a tough 2019.
Airlines have come under increasing pressure to reduce emissions in the face of the growing “flight shame” movement, formed in easyJet boss Johan Lundgren’s native Sweden. EasyJet’s scheme goes further than the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation .

The airline said that forward bookings for the first half of the 2020 financial year were “reassuring” and slightly ahead of last year.
