Question 26

What are the most eco-friendly airlines from Johannesburg to London?

Accepted Answer

European airlines are the top contributors to eco-conscious flying and practice the most environmentally friendly programmes for sustainable travel. On this route, our most favourable eco-friendly airlines are KLM, British Airways and SWISS. SWISS Air was one of the first airlines to use sustainable aviation fuel resulting in a reduction of CO2 emissions by 80%. British Airways is unrolling a three-phase plan to reach its goal of 0% carbon emissions, which includes the development of carbon trapping technologies and hydrogen-powered aircrafts. KLM is one of the biggest operators making them responsible for a large portion of the carbon footprint. For this reason, the airline is on a strict deadline to reduce their carbon emissions by at least 20% short term with an 80% reduction as a long-term goal.

Question 27

How can I fly more sustainably from Johannesburg to London?

Accepted Answer

There are several ways that conscious travellers can reduce their carbon footprint to aid in the protection of our planet. The first most effective way is to book direct flights. Virgin Atlantic offers direct flights on this route going from Johannesburg to London. The flight will take approximately 11 hours to complete. Virgin Atlantic was the first airline to install split scimitar winglets to reduce drag on the wing, which reduces the amount of fuel needed to make the journey by a significant amount. Another useful tip is to book an economy class ticket. Save money and save our planet at the same time, by booking a smaller seat. The amount of carbon emission an individual is responsible for is directly related to the amount of space they take up. This means that first-class seats, being twice as big as economy class seats produce twice as much harmful carbon output.
