Singapore Airlines takes a long-term view of the development of its air transportation and related businesses. This includes broader responsibilities to the worldwide communities the Airline serves, and recognition that its operations are sustainable and minimise the impact on the environment.
Singapore Airlines takes pride in operating a fleet of aircraft that is among the youngest and most fuel-efficient in the skies. The Airline is the first to operate the Airbus380; the cleanest and greenest aircraft in operation today. Its fuel burn is up to 20% less than a Boeing747 on a seat-mile basis, and the carbon dioxide emissions per customer are the lowest of any aircraft. The A380 is also quieter, both inside and outside the cabin.
Singapore Airlines will continue to be an early adopter of new technology (where it is prudent to do so), so as to improve the fuel efficiency of its fleet, lower noise levels and minimise the amount of emissions released
Information on our key environmental activities and performance is published in the Singapore Airlines Environmental Report 2007-08. The Report includes data on aircraft emissions, electricity and water consumption, and also lists various green activities such as waste minimisation and efficient use of resources.
