Corporate Responsibility
Sustainability
The airline industry remains highly focused on reducing emissions and the environmental impact of operating commercial aircraft. We believe this will result in our airline customers accelerating their transition to the most modern technology, fuel-efficient aircraft we own and have on order.
We are committed to sharing information regarding our focus on sustainability, social and governance matters, and engaging with our Stakeholders.
Our core strategy is helping our airline customers modernize their fleets through our fleet planning services and our portfolio of aircraft that are generally 20-25% more fuel-efficient and have a significantly smaller noise footprint than the aircraft they will replace.
