All the 3 digit models with a “7” are Boeing. It’s worth noting that #Boeing is an #ALEC member that supports the republican party in the US & lobbies to eliminate & neuter the #EPA as well as fight every environmental protection possible. So regardless of GHG footprint¹, #boycottBoeing.

  1. I say GHG instead of CO₂ because airlines also have non-CO₂ GHG emissions. There was a scandal recently where #Google stopped showing the GHG emissions on their ticketing platform & swapped in CO₂ emissions to downplay the damage.
