Singapore Airlines Ltd. revised its rate of in-flight waste recycling upward ahead of its annual general meeting Monday after receiving new data from its local catering company.

The city-state’s national carrier said it recycled 11% of waste generated in flight, or 393 metric tons, in the 2023/24 financial year, much higher than the 1.7% it stated last week. The upward revision came after queries from Bloomberg News about the airline’s recycling stance.
