Ryanair to cut carbon emissions with electric ground handling

Bloomberg

Ryanair Holdings Plc will introduce electric ground-handling equipment at 11 European airports including Madrid, Amsterdam and Oslo as the Irish airline looks to reduce its emissions.
Europe’s biggest discount carrier will introduce electric-powered baggage vehicles and plane push-back tractors with partners Azul Handling and Menzies Aviation, Ryanair said in a statement.
Azul will allow it to offer zero emission turnarounds at eight Spanish locations, saving 1,000 tons of CO2 a year, it said.
Carriers are under increasing pressure to reduce emissions even as travel demand rebounds from the coronavirus pandemic.
