Bonuses Would Be Paid Only If Airline Met Overall Emissions Reduction Target The reported strategy by British Airways, which was in a document seen by Bloomberg News, reflects growing pressure on airlines to address fuel burn. Airlines are increasingly turning to operational changes to reduce emissions. According to details of the plan, pilots would be encouraged to adopt more fuel-efficient operating practices. These could include longer single-engine taxi operations, a common fuel-saving practice, and carrying less discretionary fuel. Fuel remains one of the industry’s highest operating costs, particularly amid sustained high oil prices due to the U.S. and Israel’s conflict with Iran.
