Air Europa scores 26/100 (Significant gaps) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified July 2026.

That places Air Europa joint 662nd of 790 companies scored, and joint 6th of 9 in Aerospace.

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.
