In mid-2007, easyJet outlined the environmental
requirements that must be met by the next generation
of short-haul super-clean aircraft for operation from
2015; and unveiled its design of what such an aircraft
could look like. Dubbed the “easyJet ecoJet”, the aircraft
would need to be 25% quieter and would emit 50%
less CO2 and 75% less NOx than today’s newest
aircraft (the 737 and A320 families of aircraft, using
the ACARE environment challenge definitions i.e. also
including ATM improvements). The design will contain
a number of key features, which will make it radically
more environmentally efficient:
• Rear-mounted “open-rotor” engines that offer
unrivalled environmental performance for short-haul
flying due to their higher propulsive efficiency.
However, there are significant difficulties in fixing
such a large engine under a wing of a narrow-body
aircraft, making rear-mounting of the engines
the optimum solution
• A lower design cruise speed to reduce drag and
a shorter design range to reduce weight
• The airframe will be made of advanced weightreducing
materials similar to those used in current
projects such as the Boeing 787 and A350
easyJet continues to actively engage with both airframe
and engine manufacturers and will continue pressing for
the introduction of the next generation of short-haul
aircraft as soon as the technology is available.
B. Shaping European policy
on emissions trading
easyJet has the chair of the European Low Fares
Airlines Association (ELFAA) environment working
group and in that capacity was invited to join the
European Commission’s Aviation Working Group that
was set up to review how international aviation could
be included into the EU Emissions Trading Scheme
(ETS). easyJet considers that including aviation in EU
ETS is the best solution to address aviation emissions.
The aim of ETS is to establish a market mechanism
for capping CO2 emissions (ETS does not cover the
non-CO2 effects of any industry) and easyJet supports
aviation’s entry into ETS as soon as practical.
All arriving and departing flights from the EU should be
included to give the scheme the widest scope possible,
and reward airlines that are environmentally efficient
and penalise those that are not. The concept of an
ETS is to establish a cap on emissions. Companies that
exceed their allocation have to either buy permits
from companies that have managed to reduce their
emissions below their allocation or through the
purchase of certified emission reductions (such as
the Joint Implementation or the Clean Development
Mechanism). easyJet believes that the only viable way
for aviation to enter ETS is through a cap at EU level.
Aircraft are not fixed plant and generally operate
across borders, making national allocations meaningless.
The proposed benchmark of Revenue Tonne
Kilometres (RTKs) internalises most of the aspects of
the environmental efficiency of airlines and is supported
by a wide range of evidence as the most
environmentally sound metric.
The key concept of an ETS is to set a cap on net
emissions. After the system has been established and
proved to work the cap may be reduced in successive
trading periods in line with agreed emission reduction
targets. easyJet supports the inclusion of aviation into
the EU ETS in the manner proposed by the European
Commission. The European Commission published its
proposals in December 2006 and these are now going
through the legislative process.

C. Shaping European policy on making
ATM more efficient
The implementation of the EU’s Single European Sky
(SES) legislation is fundamental to improving the safety,
reducing the cost and increasing the productivity of
Europe’s highly fragmented and inefficient air traffic
management (ATM) system. easyJet is actively
supporting the delivery of the SES initiatives, especially
through its involvement in the SESAR programme.
SESAR is the operational part of SES, which is
proposing a new approach to reform the ATM
structure in Europe. easyJet supports the ACARE
ATM target to save 5% to10% of the fuel consumed
by European aviation through radical changes to the
air traffic management system14.
D. Engaging with the consumer
In August 2007 easyJet became the first major
European airline to offer its customers the opportunity
