By GlobalDataBoth companies share the opinion that in order to become truly sustainable, air transport must achieve decarbonisation at scale.
They agree that efforts are required across the entire value chain, ranging from airports to airlines, to achieve net-zero by 2050.
The two companies will also create a working group that will meet regularly and monitor progress.
easyJet Italy country manager Lorenzo Lagorio said: “Today’s agreement with SEA demonstrates easyJet’s commitment to continuously look for ways to make its operations ever more sustainable and work closely with all partners involved.
