No, they are chasing short term profits over long term, at the cost of the environment.
there is no short term profit in airline industry. do you have idea how long it takes for the aircraft to pay for itself? about environmental cost of producing the aircraft itself? do you think it is sensible to just write these costs off, throw the hull away and build new one (even if it were technically possible, which it is not)? more eco friendly, so instead of 1 cost, you now have 1+0,8=1,8 cost? this is real life, things take time to change.
and know the airlines are trying to be as eco-friendly as possible - not necessarily because they are so eco-aware, but because it is cheaper.
