Flybe Aircraft Ecolabel

The Flybe Aircraft Ecolabel is a voluntary eco-labelling scheme developed by Flybe, once Europe's largest regional airline, to give passengers transparent environmental information about the aircraft operating their flight. At the point of booking online, travelers are presented with a clear breakdown of the fuel consumption, carbon emissions, and noise levels associated with the specific aircraft type scheduled for their journey.

The scheme was designed in response to growing demand for consumer-facing environmental transparency in the aviation sector, including calls from the Stern Review on climate change for labelling mechanisms that help individuals and businesses make more informed decisions. The labelling methodology was subject to an independent assurance process conducted by international consultancy firm Deloitte, lending credibility to the data presented to consumers.

This program is relevant to passengers flying Flybe routes across the United Kingdom and continental Europe — including France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Spain — who want to factor environmental performance into their travel choices. It is also of interest to organizations tracking the carbon footprint of business travel or seeking airlines that provide verified, standardized environmental disclosures.
