Marco Busca, president of EGO Airways states, "More than a year ago, together with my father and the other partners of OCP, I decided to invest in EGO Airways, firmly convinced of the high growth potential of this project. A project that, today more than ever, I consider innovative and successful, as confirmed by all the realities of the sector, and not only, to which we presented it. And now, after all these months of work and commitment, I am first of all proud: proud to have taken up the challenge of a start-up and equally proud of the fantastic team we have created. Thanks to my role as an investor, but also as president and accountable manager, I am currently personally involved in the airline's operations and I can confirm to you that our goal is to bring EGO Airways, in 5 years, to be an international reference for Italian aviation."

The values and goals
Inclusiveness, attention to the environment, enhancement of the Italian territory and Made in Italy in general are among the values that have guided EGO Airways since its creation. This philosophy has inspired the new carrier both in its choice of staff and in its partnerships with local tour operators. And, of course, it underlies all good practices aimed at reducing The environmental impact of its flights. The latter chapter, in particular, touches on many aspects of onboard service, starting with the packaging of food and beverages: ranging from the choice of one-dish meals to a preference for containers and tableware made of biodegradable and compostable materials, from pulp bowls to clear PLA cups to recycled paper packaging. The decision to be as plastic free as possible is also accompanied by a careful selection of suppliers who can guarantee recycling and separate collection of shipboard waste. Finally, in the even longer-term vision, there is also the goal of being able to reinvest in renewable energy to reduce CO2 emissions to zero.
