Volotea

At Volotea, we believe that learning about the world through travel helps children develop skills that will last a lifetime. It fuels their imagination, builds resilience, and fosters a deeper understanding of the world and their role within it. From discovering new places to learning about different cultures, travel opens their minds to endless possibilities. 🌍 ✈️ This belief drives our latest sponsorship of the "TUTTI A BORDO!" (ALL ABOARD!) program for the 2024-2025 Italian school year. Impacting 1,000 primary school classes across Apulia, Campania, Sardinia, Sicily, Tuscany, and Veneto, this exciting project introduces students to geography in creative and engaging ways. Organized by NeWays srl, experts in developing educational campaigns across Italy, the program is designed to enhance students’ understanding of the world. It includes hands-on activities, interactive digital resources, and an art contest where the winning class can win vouchers to use on our flights.📚 🗺️ We’re proud to collaborate with Neways on this project as part of our ongoing commitment to the local communities we serve, and we’re excited to help inspire young explorers, nurturing their curiosity and passion for discovery through meaningful learning experiences. 🎒🚀 #Volotea #Neways #TuttiABordo #Italy #YouthEducation #EducationalInitiative

We're excited to announce that we've signed a Letter of Intent with Enilive, Eni's subsidiary focused on mobility products and services, to promote the long-term supply of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) across 15 Italian airports. This agreement could provide us with up to 15 million liters of SAF between 2025 and 2030, continuing our efforts to reduce CO2 emissions and drive sustainable aviation forward. ✈️   Since 2022, we've integrated SAF into our aircraft, utilizing 1 million liters of this sustainable fuel between 2022 and 2023. Together with Enilive, we aim to further enhance the adoption of SAF, a biofuel primarily made from waste and biological residues, which, according to IATA studies, can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 80% throughout its lifecycle compared to traditional fuels. ♻️   Our ESG Director, Gloria Carreras, shared the following: "This marks the start of a new journey with an important partner like Enilive. Over the years, we have launched several initiatives to reduce our environmental impact and adopt a more responsible approach to low-cost travel. Thanks to this ongoing commitment and the rapid progress made recently, we will be able to reduce our direct CO2 emissions per passenger-kilometer by 50% by 2025 vs 2012, five years ahead of our original target."   We look forward to collaborating with Enilive as we continue our commitment to decarbonizing the aviation industry, achieve our sustainability objectives, and support industry initiatives, including the upcoming European RefuelEU Aviation regulation, requiring a minimum of 2% SAF in all jet fuel from January 1, 2025, increasing to 70% by 2050. 📜   #Volotea #Enilive #SAF #SustainableAviation #Decarbonization #RefuelEU
