BA pipped SAS Scandinavian Airlines to the top spot during the first quarter (January to March) closely followed by United Airlines and Aer Lingus.
The league table is based on each individual airline’s environmental performance during the quarter, such as reducing noise and unnecessary fuel burn.
Heathrow said BA came out on top on account of it sticking to routes designated by air traffic control ensuring noise respite for local communities and making more efficient use of its engines while descending and landing.
