Were passionate about our commitment to the environment, a natural extension of our LUVing Culture. We partner with vendors, academic researchers, and industry organizations to develop innovative efficiency and eco-friendly enhancements for aviation.
Specifically in San Diego, Southwest Airlines SAN has taken the lead to implement "Green Initiatives". We improve air quality and conserve energy by reducing our greenhouse gas emissions, conserving jet fuel, and using cleaner-burning technology in our ground support equipment. In 2018 SWA SAN replaced 90% of our ground support vehicles to all electric. We minimize waste by purchasing eco-friendly materials and implementing robust recycling programs in our facilities and onboard our aircraft.
We believe that doing whats right for our Planet makes good business sense. That is why we make decisions and operate with a green filter, a mindset of protecting our Planet.
