Cathay Pacific's 'Greener Together' initiative is a pioneering effort in sustainable aviation, dedicated to advancing sustainability and mindful resource management in its operations.
As the first airline to invest in technology that transforms municipal waste into sustainable aviation fuel, Cathay Pacific leads the industry in innovative environmental practices. The airline "launched Asia’s first major Corporate SAF program in 2022..." and commits" to using SAF for 10% of Cathay Pacific Airways’ jet fuel consumption by 2030."
In addition to this, Cathay Pacific has enhanced its fleet with more fuel-efficient aircraft like its A350 and A321neo, driving forward its ambition to achieve zero carbon emissions.
Greener Together embodies Cathay Pacific's commitment to a sustainable future, reflecting a deep responsibility towards the planet and a forward-thinking approach to aviation.
