Qantas worst airline operating across Pacific for CO2 emissions, analysis reveals

Qantas used the two most fuel-intensive aircraft and carried the most empty seats of any transpacific airline

Qantas emits more carbon dioxide per passenger-kilometre than any other airline operating across the Pacific, according to an analysis by the International Council on Clean Transportation, the group that exposed the Volkswagen emissions scandal in 2014.

For each kilometre Qantas transports a passenger across the Pacific, it uses 64% more fuel than the two most fuel-efficient airlines operating across the Pacific: Hainan Airlines and All Nippon Airways (ANA).
