This latest generation aircraft has saved Ryanair over 6,000 tonnes of fuel with a total CO2 savings of c. 20,000 tonnes from Bergamo in the past year. Ryanair’s 20 Bergamo based aircraft, 10 of which will be our most enviro efficient “Gamechanger” aircraft (4% more seats, burn 16% less fuel and create 40% less noise emissions), represent an investment of over $2bn, delivering over 100 routes including 9 new Summer routes, supporting 600 highly paid aviation jobs and over 9,5k indirect jobs at Bergamo Airport.
