Study gives green nod to Norwegian airline, brickbats for BA, Lufthansa

Paris

A NORWEGIAN low-cost airline has been dubbed a champion of fuel efficiency in a new study released on Tuesday, in marked contrast to British Airways (BA) and Lufthansa which have been labelled as among the worst.

The study by the International Council for Clean Transportation (ICCT) found that three of the least fuel efficient carriers were BA, Lufthansa and Scandinavian airline SAS, who between them account for some 20 per cent of the transatlantic air travel market.
