Efficient vs Inefficient aircraft
The tool below has been preloaded with an example of the same trip taken with two different aircraft. The regional jet's warming impact is double that of an efficient aircraft.
A regional jet, is a smaller aircraft having fewer seats across a row than the 6 common on standard passenger aircraft. When both aircraft are fully loaded, regional jets are significantly less efficient than modern efficient aircraft.
Once you’ve boarded it is easy to know that you are on a regional jet, but to avoid regional jets when booking flights rank your travel options by emissions on a reputable website. We talk about the options further on the Actions page.
