Work to reduce emissions also took place before this period, so between 1999 and 2017 emissions will be reduced by 41%. 

"We are making emissions reductions on our own accord, employing one of the world's most modern fleets and continuously developing our operating practices. Emissions can also be reduced by improving infrastructure, such as the Single European Sky program, which will improve efficiency in air traffic control. We also support a global emissions trading system for air transport," says Ihamäki. Finnair Plc is Finland's largest airline and flag carrier, with its headquarters on the grounds of Helsinki-Vantaa Airport in Vantaa, Finland, and its main hub at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport.
