If the pricing was similar and one airline had a lower carbon print
Price and emissions tend to track one another, as the price of fuel is heavily baked into the cost of the seat. And everyone flies the same aircraft models. It’s not like there’s a “Low Emissions Boeing” or “EV Airbus” you can select.
I agree with that on direct plans. I don’t agree with that on indirect lanes. the emissions to passenger ratio should be lower on a full 130 passenger jet that is going to another more populated airport nearby, and then hopping to the destination port with a lower passenger count(this would raise ticket prices some, but I wouldn’t expect game changing amounts), than a direct flight plan that has a full jet one direction, and then only 1/4 occupancy on the direct route back.
I don’t actually care about full emission count though, I just want the emissions to be used responsibly. a low passenger to emission ratio would be what I find the most useful, but I doubt its what anyone would actually supply.
