Stepping up its efforts on decarbonisation and carbon-neutral aviation, SAUDIA has committed to various sustainability programs to minimise emissions. The airline is the first in the world to implement the Green Points program that rewards the passengers for helping to protect the environment. The Green Points Program offers guests the option to travel with less luggage, which is incentivised by a generous allocation of Green Points. This approach makes a significant contribution towards fuel efficiency.
Apart from this, SAUDIA is also the first partner in the Middle East-North Africa region to partner in the Voluntary Carbon Market Initiative. The initiative reflects the interests of companies seeking to reduce their carbon footprint through new innovations such as expanding renewable energy or advancing green hydrogen.
SAUDIA is also a part of Sustainability Flight Challenge, which uses customer feedback to minimise the ecological footprint. Besides SAUDIA is has also made investments in zero-emission air travel to promote oil independence as part of its Vision 2030. SAUDIA has plans to purchase 100 of the Lilium-Jet electric-powered air taxis to serve point-to-point connections and seamless hub connections for business class customers within Saudi Arabia.
