49 2017 Annual Report
U S E O F M AT E R I A L S
Isavia’s operations are in many respects energy intensive, both as regards use of electricity and fuel. The weightiest environmental factor in the company’s operations is the use of fossil fuels. Use is at its highest during the winter months when runways and aprons need to be cleared almost 24
hours a day. It can prove difficult to manage use, but efforts are being made to reduce it as much as possible without compromising operations or safety. Electric cars have been purchased for use airside at Keflavik Airport, employees with a commercial driving licence take a course in eco-driving and even more measures linked to this issue are being lined up for the coming years. Fuel use per passenger was just less than one litre last year – a decrease of just less 10% from 2016. Total fuel use was, however, higher in 2017 than in previous years.
