Environment
Finncomm Airlines has made many efforts to mitigate their environmental impact. The carrier utilises a very modern and fuel efficient fleet of ATRs and Embraers which reduce fuel burn and noise emissions. Finncomm commented that the ATR fleet saves 70,000 tonnes of fuel and 200,000 tonnes of CO2 in a five-year period over a jet fleet. Furthermore, when aircraft are at an airport overnight, they are placed into heated hangars to reduce the amount of de-icing agent used on the aircraft. Finncomm states that this action saves 300,000 litres of anti-ice solvents annually.

Famous quotes containing the word environment:
“Maturity involves being honest and true to oneself, making decisions based on a conscious internal process, assuming responsibility for one’s decisions, having healthy relationships with others and developing one’s own true gifts. It involves thinking about one’s environment and deciding what one will and won’t accept.”
—Mary Pipher (20th century)
“The poorest children in a community now find the beneficent kindergarten open to them from the age of two-and-a-half to six years. Too young heretofore to be eligible to any public school, they have acquired in their babyhood the vicious tendencies of their own depraved neighborhoods; and to their environment at that tender age had been due the loss of decency and self-respect that no after example of education has been able to restore to them.”
—Virginia Thrall Smith (1836–1903)
“People between twenty and forty are not sympathetic. The child has the capacity to do but it can’t know. It only knows when it is no longer able to do—after forty. Between twenty and forty the will of the child to do gets stronger, more dangerous, but it has not begun to learn to know yet. Since his capacity to do is forced into channels of evil through environment and pressures, man is strong before he is moral. The world’s anguish is caused by people between twenty and forty.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
