Responsible capitalism requires its participants to maintain a fine balance between protecting our fragile ecosystem and keeping the wheels of commerce going. To achieve this balance, we have embarked on a series of projects that will help reduce our environmental footprint and shift to a greener air cargo.
Our Commitment
Redesigned fleets
In recent years, we have invested billions in the new low emission aircraft (Boeing 777-300ER and Airbus A220) and we are proud to operate one of the youngest and most fuel efficient fleets in the industry.
Efficient trucking
All our partners are obliged to use modern equipment and efficient route planning. Furthermore, they are expected to continuously invest in renewing their fleets and training the drivers to ensure ecological standards.
Light weight ULDs
In the next four years, all our AKE containers (provided by our ULD management partner - Jettainer) will be replaced by new and innovative light weight containers. This will significantly reduce weight and consequently fuel consumption and emissions.
Conservation & recycling
We insist on the use of standard agreements that encourage our ground handling partners to conserve natural resources, avoid the use of hazardous materials wherever possible, and actively reuse and recycle materials.
