A Greener Passenger Experience for Smarter Airlines

Learn what passengers expect from airline sustainability—and how visible waste reduction and onboard choices drive loyalty and revenue. 

  • What passengers associate with sustainable flying — from waste reduction to lower-carbon fuels

  • Where belief and behaviour disconnect — and why most travellers still don’t act on sustainability

  • How airlines can turn visible onboard actions like pre-order, packaging and retail into loyalty and spend

     

What to expect in the guide:

  • How passengers really perceive airline sustainability — and where trust breaks down

  • The intention vs behaviour gap shaping booking and onboard choices

  • Which sustainability actions matter most onboard, from waste reduction to retail

  • The commercial case for sustainability, including willingness to pay and loyalty impact 

  • How visible, passenger-facing initiatives influence perception more than behind-the-scenes change

  • Practical opportunities for airlines to cut waste, build trust and drive revenue
