We support the roadmap for a Europe-wide integrated air traffic management, and we pledge ourselves to improving capacities and efficiency both in airspace and at airports to enable an ecologically sound way of flying for our passengers: - Our intended transport network will be limited to short-haul flights with distances of mostly less than 700 km. On these routes, modern turboprop aircrafts containing 30 to 50 seats feature a great amount of fuel savings in contrast to equally sized jet planes.
- In the context of our sustainable fleet policy, we exclusively focus on current and latest aircraft types which, according to their modern engines, use less fuel and make less noise than older aircraft types.
-
By means of our yield management and an attractive tariff system, we are intending to reach a more efficient load factor of our seat capacities, thus lowering the fuel emissions per seat and, in return, raising the amount of passengers per aircraft in contrast to other airlines.
- Because we are focusing on Rostock-Laage airport as our regional hub for the north, we and our customers benefit from short distances in the air and on the ground. Long approach procedures, holding patterns and extensive taxiways between runways and terminals, which lead to a higher fuel consumption at international hubs such as Frankfurt or Copenhagen, will thus be eliminated.
-
Benefiting from the geographical location of our regional hub Rostock-Laage, we are offering direct connections from Germany to several destinations in southern Sweden and the Baltic states, which can currently only be reached by either changing planes at major hubs or taking into account even longer detours while travelling by car, bus, rail or ship.
- Our personnel is expected to reduce waste accumulation and consumption of energy and water during their daily obligations in the office, on the plane and in the hangar to a minimum. Paperless flying by the use of e-tickets and corresponding systems within airports represents another contribution.
