As Ryanair grows to carry 225m passengers by FY26, this initiative will further the airline’s target of net-zero by 2050.

“As Europe’s most environmentally efficient major airline, we are leading the way in sustainable aviation as demonstrated by this investment in our fleet. This winglet technology will help us reach our ambitious environmental targets on our pathway to net zero emissions by 2050. We are impressed with APB’s innovative winglet designs and look forward to having them installed on not just this first aircraft but on over 400 of our aircraft to further reduce our emissions,” Ryanair’s Director of Sustainability, Thomas Fowler said.
