LAN Airlines Attempts to Fly Toward Greener Skies, Nearly Crashes
Have you ever heard of LAN airlines? If you haven’t ever traveled to South or Central America, then probably not. Here though, LAN is one of the big boys.
They recently sent us a press release announcing that they were the first airline in Latin America to sign the IATA’s Green Aviation Partners agreement, which will commit the company to reducing carbon dioxide emissions through various methods. At first I thought, that’s good. That’s very good. Then I thought, “so just what is the Green Aviation Partners agreement? And who is the IATA? Am I buying into a greenwashing effort by LAN Airlines?”
