Despite these figures, Aegean Airlines has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The airline's emissions intensity has varied, with a reported intensity of 0.0778 kg CO2e per passenger kilometre in 2023, suggesting ongoing efforts to improve efficiency. Overall, while Aegean Airlines has made strides in tracking its emissions, the lack of formal reduction commitments highlights an area for potential growth in its climate strategy.
