This milestone, backed by the 2025 results from the specialized environmental analysis platform EmeraldSky, highlights the carrier&#8217;s ability to expand its network while maintaining rigorous control over its carbon footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Peak Efficiency in Emissions Per Available Seat-Kilometer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The technical report issued by Cirium revealed that the airline recorded an indicator of 57.95 grams of CO\u2082 per available seat-kilometer (ASK) during the 2025 period. The significance of this result lies in the fact that emissions intensity remained virtually stable, even though the company increased its operational volume by more than 32% during the same analyzed timeframe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to statements from Mike Malik, Chief Industry Officer at Cirium, this performance across four distinct regulatory and geographical environments demonstrates that sustainability in the airline sector goes beyond technology, directly reflecting the company&#8217;s culture, operational discipline, and strategic asset management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Modern Fleet and the Impact of the SMARTFuel Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The fundamental pillar behind this ecological and financial performance lies in fleet modernization and a business model focused on resource optimization:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fleet Structure:<\/strong> The company operates a homogenous fleet of 54 Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Average Age:<\/strong> The aircraft average 3 years of age, positioning the fleet among the youngest and most modern in South America.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Impact Mitigation:<\/strong> Control and efficiency initiatives have allowed the company to avoid the emission of more than 100,000 metric tons of CO\u2082.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2026\/05\/jetsmart-eyes-expansion-from-medellin-files-for-caracas-and-buenos-aires-aeroparque-routes.html\">JetSMART Eyes Expansion From Medellin: Files For Caracas and Buenos Aires-Aeroparque Routes<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pillars of the SMARTFuel Program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To achieve these metrics, the airline implemented the SMARTFuel corporate program, a key initiative within its operational efficiency strategy designed to reduce fuel burn through three core pillars:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Optimization of flight profiles across all phases of flight.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Efficient cruise speed management.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Continuous improvements in flight planning for each route.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sustained Growth Under the Ultra-Low-Cost Model<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The ultra-low-cost carrier (ULCC) business model has not only served as a market disruptor but, according to the consultancy firm&#8217;s report, has also transformed regional connectivity by replacing long-distance ground transportation with short-haul flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since commencing operations in 2017, the company has transported more than 56 million passengers, including over 15 million first-time flyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This upward trend remains robust into the first quarter of 2026:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Total Passengers:<\/strong> The airline surpassed 4.2 million passengers transported in the opening months of the year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Year-on-Year Growth:<\/strong> It recorded a 40% increase in passenger traffic compared to April 2025.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Available Capacity:<\/strong> The surge in travelers was accompanied by a 34% expansion in available seat capacity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, the airline operates a domestic and international network spanning more than 90 routes in South America, connecting over 50 destinations. With consolidated operations and individual Air Operator Certificates (AOCs) in Chile, Argentina, Peru, and Colombia, alongside operational international connections to Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Ecuador, and the Dominican Republic, the company aims to further solidify its transport network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Estuardo Ortiz, CEO and Founder of the airline, and Rodrigo Barrios, Chief Operating Officer, agreed that these results reinforce the commitment to maintaining a competitive, disciplined, and smart operation, proving that the democratization of air travel in South America can advance hand-in-hand with high environmental sustainability standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div
