European airlines including Air France-KLM, easyJet and Ryanair have teamed up with environmental associations on the “Fueling Flight Initiative” to push for a strengthening of the proposed ReFuelEU legislation on sustainable aviation fuels (SAF).
The surge in omicron coronavirus variant cases damaged Ryanair Holdings’ yields in December and January, but the Ireland-based airline group managed to reduce its fiscal 2022 third-quarter (Q3) net loss to €96 million ($107 million) from €321 million a year earlier.
EasyJet predicted a strong summer as it reported a reduced headline loss for the three months to end-December 2021 but said the emergence of the omicron coronavirus variant had hit its December activities.
