Background ✨
SAS achieved first place in Heathrow's 'Fly Quiet and Green' league table in 4Q2019 due to its investment in A320neo aircraft, which are quieter and have lower emissions1. Austrian Airlines improved its ranking significantly in the same quarter, moving from 28th to 12th, also due to investment in A320neo aircraft2. The A320neo has been a critical component in improving environmental performance for several airlines operating at Heathrow3.
