Finnair is supporting the Baltic Sea Action
Group (BSAG) in its work to improve the state of the Baltic Sea,
one of the world's most polluted seas.
"Through cooperation, the best possible
resources will be harnessed to save the Baltic Sea. We are
continually developing our own operations in order to load the
environment less, but through cooperation projects we are also
involved in improving the state of the environment elsewhere,"
explains Finnair's VP Sustainable Development Kati Ihamäki.
The main idea behind the BSAG is to obtain as
high quality research data as possible to support practical
measures to restore the Baltic Sea. Finnair's participation in the
BSAG involves helping with travel arrangements, enhancing
visibility and offering the possibility of donating Finnair Plus
points.
Soon, by donating 75,000 Finnair Plus
points to BSAG, Finnair's frequent flyers can donate around one
metre of oil-spill containment boom to the rescue department. In
the event of an accident, such booms provide invaluable protection
against irreversible damage. The donation of points will be
possible from 1 March 2010.
Direct routes and a
modern fleet are the most significant steps that an airline can
take to reduce its emissions. Finnair fleet modernisation is
currently on the finishing straight. In
addition, Finnair purposefully reduces emissions through various
operational means, such as Continuous Descent Approach (CDA)
landings.
