If you don't specify what type of plane, they estimate 500kg, not 680kg - which is a huge difference! And, surprisingly, the two planes that are used to fly to Timaru both have almost exactly the same emissions, even though one is a 170-seater jet plane and the other a 39-seater turboprop*.<br /><br />* actually a 19-seater turboprop, but there aren't any of them in Atmosfair.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17588832912375311757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5683446064054569523.post-26133806262216219012015-07-31T16:02:07.174+12:002015-07-31T16:02:07.174+12:00Atmosfair is really fascinating.

I'm not sure what I expected, to be honest (bigger planes = more efficient??), but that doesn't seem to be borne out in the numbers. Guess I'll be trying to fly on ATR72 flights now, when I can - they seem to be the best option within NZ domestic flights.Anna_Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08846994169959475381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5683446064054569523.post-66551162322604674912015-07-26T23:14:48.890+12:002015-07-26T23:14:48.890+12:00You're amazing Heather, the effort you go to f...You're amazing Heather, the effort you go to find out about stuff is so admirable!
