Etihad Airways has committed to adopt the Etihad Mangrove Forest Initiative and plant a mangrove tree in Abu Dhabi on behalf of every guest who books an economy space seat, declaring that every ‘space’ seat sold is eventually carbon neutral.
Every guest will receive confirmation of their gifted mangrove within 10 days of flying and will have the ability to track every tree with satellite maps, virtually visit, see photos and other details of their chatbot-enabled tree, confirming the carbon offset for their recent travel.
Mariam Al Qubaisi, Head of Sustainability, Etihad Aviation Group, said, “In addition to our own sustainability ambitions, we made a commitment to helping our guests and partners to travel more sustainably and empower them to make conscious choices. With the latest evolution of our sustainability program to plant a mangrove on behalf of every guest who books an Economy Space seat, we’re simplifying the process so anyone can travel sustainably.”
