RYANAIR IS EUROPE'S GREENEST, CLEANEST AIRLINE
BUY ONE FLIGHT AND GET A SECOND ABSOLUTELY FREE*
Ryanair, Europe's largest low fares airline today (Wednesday, 10th January 2007)
celebrated being Europe's Greenest Cleanest Airline by giving away a million
free* seats (taxes reduced to zero) - one with each flight booked before the
18th January 2007.
The Stern Report confirmed that aviation accounts for just 1.6% of global
greenhouse gas emissions. Over the past 5 years, Ryanair has invested over $10
billion in brand new aircraft, which has delivered a 50% reduction in CO2
emissions and a 45% reduction in fuel burn and noise. The Dutch Consumer
Organisation has recently confirmed that Ryanair is Europe's greenest, cleanest
airline.
Gordon Brown's decision to double APD from GBP5 to GBP10 per ticket will
generate over GBP1 billion in tax revenue for the Government. At GBP10 on an
average GBP28 ticket, Ryanair passengers are being taxed at over 35%. These
taxes are regressive and ineffective. Gordon Brown won't spend any of this money
on the environment. He is just using the environment to steal more taxes from
ordinary passengers.
Speaking today Ryanair's CEO, Michael O'Leary, said:
"The Stern Report has confirmed that aviation accounts for just 1.6% of
global green house gas emissions. The Dutch Consumer Organisation has
recognised that passengers flying with Ryanair are choosing Europe's
cleanest and greenest airline.
"Over the past 5 years, Ryanair has achieved a 50% reduction in CO2
emissions and a 45% reduction in fuel burn and noise by investing over
$10 billion in brand new aircraft. Ryanair now operates the youngest,
quietest, most fuel efficient fleet in the industry.
"To celebrate being Europe's lowest fare and greenest airline, Ryanair
is giving away a free* flight (taxes reduced to zero) with all bookings
made before the 18th January. This special offer lasts one week only and
demand will be very strong so we urge passengers to book immediately on
www.ryanair.com.
"Since aviation accounts for just 1.6% of global emissions it is neither
the cause of nor the solution to global warming. Passengers flying with
Ryanair are already doing their bit by choosing Europe's greenest and
cleanest airline".
* Offer starts 11th January 2007, 2nd free flight for travel between 16th
January 2007 and 8th February 2007. Terms and conditions apply - see
