Additionally, easyJet received the 'Aviation Innovation (large company)' Award for Project Acorn, the pioneering airside hydrogen refuelling trial conducted at a major UK airport. This groundbreaking project not only set a new standard by being the first of its kind in the UK but also played a crucial role in developing industry regulations for hydrogen use in airport environments. The Aviation Industry Awards, held at Birmingham’s International Convention Centre, aimed to acknowledge innovation in the UK's aviation sector, attracting entries from numerous organizations. The independent panel of judges representing diverse professions within the aviation ecosystem evaluated the submissions to determine the winners. easyJet's commitment to sustainability is evident through its roadmap to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050. By implementing fleet renewal, operational efficiencies, Sustainable Aviation Fuel, and carbon removal technology, the airline aims for an interim carbon emissions intensity reduction target of 35% by 2035. Noteworthy strategic partnerships with industry leaders like Airbus, Rolls-Royce, and GKN Aerospace Solutions will aid easyJet in transitioning to zero carbon emission technology. Besides its environmental initiatives, easyJet focuses on corporate citizenship by employing locals in eight European countries, supporting charities, and partnering with UNICEF to assist vulnerable children. The airline has successfully reduced its carbon emissions per passenger per kilometer by one-third since 2000. Innovation is at the core of easyJet's operations, as evidenced by its continual efforts to enhance passenger experience and affordability. Recognitions such as being named one of the World’s Best Companies by TIME in 2023 and a Leader in Diversity by The Financial Times in 2024 highlight the airline's commitment to excellence and progress in the industry.
