Environmental Sustainability
We have made progress toward our goal to achieve full carbon neutrality by 2050
and continue to expect to achieve our near-term goals by 2030
Environmental sustainability targets through 2030:
Maintain carbon neutral growth to 2019 levels every
year through 2030
Cap net carbon emissions at 2019 levels as available
seat mile (ASM) growth resumes
Reduce: At least 20% reduction in carbon emissions
intensity by 2030 vs. 2019
Reduce carbon emissions per ASM through a
combination of fleet modernization and operational fuel
conservation efforts
Replace: 10% of total fuel replaced with SAF by 2030
Secure diverse portfolio of sustainable aviation fuel
(SAF) through offtake agreements
Offset: Purchase carbon offsets for remaining gap to
meet 2030 target
Launch a Customer carbon offset program, with
matching and Rapid Rewards points; and purchase
additional carbon offsets, as needed
