Passengers flying with Caribbean Airlines are being offered the chance to satisfy their green conscience.

The carrier is launching a new initiative, designed to provide sustainable air travel and reduce the airline's carbon footprint.

Working in conjunction with the Carbon Neutral Company, Caribbean Airlines will offer passengers the chance to offset their carbon emissions.

This will involve investment in environmentally friendly projects and the airline is keen to get as many people onboard as possible.

'Caribbean Airlines is committed to reducing the carbon impact of its flights upon the environment and we are delighted to be the first air carrier in the region to offer customers the choice to go carbon neutral,' said Peter Davies, chief executive officer at Caribbean Airlines.

'Since our launch on 1 January 2007, we have achieved an 80% e-ticketing rate; with five interline e-ticket partners to provide paperless travel.

'We have also invested in installing winglets on our Boeing 737, to increase the efficiency of our aircraft and reduce the CO2 produced saving at least 4,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions this year alone,' he added.
