Fly the environmentally friendly skies.

In June 2005, the British airline industry unveiled a 15-year initiative to make itself more environmentally friendly. The industry wants to improve its fuel efficiency, reduce perceived external noise, and lower carbon dioxide emissions on new planes by 50% and nitrogen oxide emissions by 80%. Also planned are ways to give travelers information on the amount of fuel used and pollutants emitted on routes that they travel. The industry may also prohibit foreign carriers from flying older, more-polluting aircraft into the United Kingdom.
