easyJet completes fleetwide tech installation to save 88,600 tonnes of CO2 annually

Share

easyJet has successfully equipped its entire fleet with state-of-the-art technology, including Descent Profile Optimisation (DPO) and Continuous Descent Approach (CDA) software. This retrofit programme, which aligns with the airline’s roadmap to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, is set to reduce carbon emissions and fuel costs.

DPO allows for more efficient descents, while CDA works alongside it to reduce noise, benefiting both the airline and surrounding communities. The retrofit initiative is expected to save up to 1% of fuel or 88,600 metric tonnes of CO2 each year, making easyJet the world’s largest operator with DPO and CDA capability.

The airline continues to advocate for airspace modernisation to fully utilise this technology’s potential.
