Air Europa discloses intensity-based CO₂ claims against a 2015 baseline while withholding absolute emissions figures—a 3–5 million tonne annual footprint sits entirely unquantified. No Scope 3 accounting, no validated targets, token SAF use on select monthly flights, and capacity expansion via A350 orders undermine credibility of its 2030 intensity pledge.
