In recent years there has been increasing interest in the environmental impacts of aviation, and
some airlines have begun to address this issue more seriously. At the same time competition
in the aviation industry has become much tougher. This study focuses on the question whether
showing pro-active environmental behaviour could work as a differentiation strategy for
airlines which are acting more responsibly, thus helping them to improve their
competitiveness. For this purpose one airline showing strong pro-environmental behaviour in
recent years was chosen as an example: Finland’s flag carrier, Finnair. This paper presents the
results of a questionnaire conducted among 148 Finnair customers on their opinions and
attitudes towards environmental aspects of flying, such as a modern and fuel-efficient fleet,
direct flights, carbon offset, and emissions calculators. The results showed that indeed there
are air passengers who consider the environment when booking a flight, although this was not

and direct flights, but not all of them were ready to pay any extra for that.
