I am concerned that the environmental undertakings of this project are insufficient. There are many statements along the lines of "We will encourage ...", which might have no effect. While targets are claimed to be legally binding, it is unclear what will happen if they are breached, e.g. would the 'fine' simply be passed on to customers? Finally, I believe that there is a lot of green-washing in the airline industry; companies claim to be planting trees but, in fact, they are planting them so close together that, I estimate, only 1 in 50 or so will ever become a tree.
