In 2018, we announced the selection of the Airbus A220 aircraft as the replacement for our existing Embraer 190 aircraft. This selection of a new aircraft before the full useful life of older aircraft had expired was driven in part by our fuel and greenhouse gas emissions efficiency strategy. It is highly unusual for an airline to replace its entire fleet halfway through its expected lifespan, but the improved fuel efficiency and cost savings made this the clear choice. This asset shift brings the potential of an estimated 40% fuel efficiency improvement per seat and an equivalent reduction in carbon emissions, contributing to an estimated 30% decrease in operating cost per seat. | 2strategy

To illustrate an element of the outputs shared by the PACTA tool, the graphic on the right shows how the PACTA methodology divides our loan portfolio for the power sector into a mix of generation technologies. The tool does this by tracking the generation technology capacity mix for the power companies that we lend to, as well as for forecasts of the change in that mix at those companies over the near-term. It is then possible, using the PACTA tool, to compare our current portfolio with the power generation technology mix in the wider economy for OECD countries. The PACTA tool's aim is to be able to prescribe targets for the technology mix of a bank's loan portfolio in future, in order to align lending activities to various scenarios, according to PACTA's specific methodology. | 3risk
