Earlier this year, JetBlue committed to achieving carbon neutrality on all domestic flying and on July 1 it started offsetting its jet fuel carbon dioxide emissions from these flights.
JetBlue is also investing in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and to start, the airline is fuelling flights from San Francisco International Airport (SFO) with SAF.
“The global pandemic reinforces the need to mitigate risks that threaten the health of our business. Our commitment to sustainability has only become more important as we prepare our business for a new climate reality,” said Joanna Geraghty, chief operating officer, JetBlue. “Even with a long recovery ahead following the COVID-19 pandemic, JetBlue remains focused on short- and long-term environmental opportunities, particularly lessening our largest impact – carbon emissions – and more fuel efficient flying.”
