Flip through the latest issue of Gulf Weekly.
Gulf Air has introduced a series of initiatives which will result in an annual reduction of around 33,000 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from its aircraft.
Its fuel conservation committee is charged with looking at ways for the airline to reduce its carbon footprint.
Gulf Air CEO Samer Majali said: "As a pioneering airline in the region, Gulf Air believes it can play a positive role in protecting the environment and help build a better future for our children, the local community and the world.
"What better occasion there can be than announcing our comprehensive carbon-emission reduction measures, when countries of the world have converged in Copenhagen to discuss climate change? As a responsible corporate citizen we are fully committed to this global cause and these are some of our proactive measures towards this commitment.
"Besides, as a long-standing member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), we are in tune with the world body's commitment to achieve carbon-neutral growth from 2020."
One of the key initiatives the airline has introduced to reduce fuel consumption include flying a more direct route to certain destinations resulting in the reduction of around 22,600 tons of CO2 emissions per year.
In another measure, Gulf Air has also reduced the amount of potable water it carries on board its flights by 25 per cent, which will save around 1,800 tons of carbon emissions each year.
Other fuel conservation measures include reduced contingency fuel, acceleration height management and flight spare kit weight reduction - all intended to improve efficiency while maintaining the highest levels of flight safety and schedule reliability.
Recently, the airline has also chosen the most fuel-efficient options to power its new fleet. The A320 Airbus aircraft on order - three of which have already joined the fleet - will be powered by CFM56-5B engine that will reduce emissions by 200 tons per aircraft per year.
