Ryanair challenges study that names it as most polluting airline in Europe | JOE.ie

became Europe's most polluting carrier over the course of 2022. The airline carrier has disputed the research, though.The analysis, which was carried out by the sustainable travel non-governmental organisation Transport & Environment , found that the Irish carrier emitted 13.3 million tonnes of carbon across the year.

These levels surpassed even Ryanair's numbers from 2019, the year before international travel was halted due to the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic.Advertisement However, despite Ryanair claiming the unwanted tag of Europe's most polluting airline, T&E did provide further context around their findings.The organisation stated that due to greater travel restrictions still being in place in many parts of the world outside of Europe, that long-haul flights are yet to recover to pre-pandemic levels.

This lack of recovery means that larger airlines such as Lufthansa and Air France are far below their traditional standards of emissions, leaving a purely Euro-centric carrier such as Ryanair to top the emissions charts. In 2022, German carrier Lufthansa emitted 8.7 million tonnes of carbon, just 67% of their 2019 levels. Whilst Air France emitted only 8.1 million tonnes, 16% less than in 2019 according to T&E.Ryanair response to being labelled Europe's most polluting airline
