Environment
Finncomm Airlines has made many efforts to mitigate their environmental impact. The carrier utilises a very modern and fuel efficient fleet of ATRs and Embraers which reduce fuel burn and noise emissions. Finncomm commented that the ATR fleet saves 70,000 tonnes of fuel and 200,000 tonnes of CO2 in a five-year period over a jet fleet. Furthermore, when aircraft are at an airport overnight, they are placed into heated hangars to reduce the amount of de-icing agent used on the aircraft. Finncomm states that this action saves 300,000 litres of anti-ice solvents annually.

Famous quotes containing the word environment:
“In a land which is fully settled, most men must accept their local environment or try to change it by political means; only the exceptionally gifted or adventurous can leave to seek his fortune elsewhere. In America, on the other hand, to move on and make a fresh start somewhere else is still the normal reaction to dissatisfaction and failure.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
“Modern man’s capacity for destruction is quixotic evidence of humanity’s capacity for reconstruction. The powerful technological agents we have unleashed against the environment include many of the agents we require for its reconstruction.”
—George F. Will (b. 1941)
“Today the young actors regard their environment with rage and disgust. They regard their Master not as disciples regard their Master, but as slaves regard their Master.”
—Judith Malina (b. 1926)
