SkyUp Airlines invests in the modernization of its fleet to improve the environmental friendliness, comfort and safety of flights. The airline's fleet is equipped with split-tip winglets to save fuel and improve aerodynamics. An aircraft with such winglets saves about 225 thousand liters of fuel and reduces carbon emissions by 568 tons a year.
Also, aircrafts have thin seats, which provide more free space between the rows for greater comfort of passengers during the flight.
