💷 British Airways Offers Pilots Bonus Pay for Burning Less Fuel 👇 British Airways is introducing a new financial incentive that will reward its pilots with up to a 1% bonus on their basic salary if they successfully reduce aircraft fuel consumption. Starting in 2027, the proposed scheme requires flight crews to collectively reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 60,000 tonnes compared to 2025 levels. Pilots will achieve these targets through operational adjustments, such as optimizing taxiing procedures and carefully managing the amount of extra fuel loaded onto the aircraft. The British Airline Pilots Association, which represents 85% of commercial pilots in the United Kingdom, will vote on the proposal at the end of April 2026. ✈️
