It did g...Utterly bizarre - almost beyond parody!<br /> <br />It did get me thinking what the greenest airline might actually be and whether Ryanair had even some sort of claim (though the greenest airline is probably a bankrupt airline that no longer flies anywhere!).<br /> <br />Presumably Ryanair want us to ignore the fact that they are flying loads of more people on loads of more planes and emitting loads more CO2 (hey folks - we may be killing the planet but at least we're doing it gently). So they just want to measure who's flying most efficiently per passenger kilometer while completely ignoring how many passenger kilometers there are. But even given Ryanair's new aircraft and high load factors I would still have thought that an airline flying turboprops only would have a far stronger claim to having the lowest emission per passenger kilometer. Ryanair use jets even on ridiculously short journeys like Liverpool - Dublin. Surely that's far more damaging than competitors who at least use turboprops? Anyone know?Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16629715734691332727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879623137966001912.post-46352604536762833062007-01-12T16:02:00.000+00:002007-01-12T16:02:00.000+00:00If it wasn't so awful it would be hilarious.
A go...If it wasn't so awful it would be hilarious.<br /><br />A good general rule of thumb on Ryanair's environmental claims must be to take what Michael O'Leary says and believe the opposite.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03510057092003540558noreply@blogger.com
