easyJet has become the first airline in the world to trial a new lower-weight paint, which should cut emissions and enable fuel savings. 

On January 3, 2025, easyJet announced that it is working with Mankiewicz Aviation Coatings to create the new solution. Compared to previous systems, this will use less paint to create the colors for easyJet’s livery.  

“easyJet is constantly exploring and developing innovative solutions to lower the impact of our operations,” said Lahiru Ranasinghe, Director of Sustainability at easyJet. “While this forms a small part of a bigger strategy, formulating a new lightweight paint with our partners at Mankiewicz Aviation Coatings exemplifies how we’re assessing every single part of our operation to find efficiency gains to help us achieve this mission.”
