Is Ryanair a low-emissions airline?

score:12

Accepted answer

They have modern planes, low overhead and high utilization, which should make them low-emission per pax.

On the other hand, it is a well-known paradox when you become more efficient at consuming some resource when fulfilling a need, which increases demand superlinearly so total use of that resource becomes higher. If low costers did not exist, there would probably be half as many flights, which would be less fuel efficient but will still emit less.
