“Azeraeronavigation” Air Traffic Department (AZANS) of
Azerbaijan airlines (AZAL) CJSC has signed a Memorandum of
Understanding indicating its intent to become a member of the
esteemed CANSO GreenATM accreditation programme, which aims to
enhance environmental responsibility across the Aviation industry.
The organisation will now pursue accreditation on the programme to
showcase their commitment to sustainability.
The signing ceremony for the entry into the GreenATM programme
was attended by Samir Rzayev, AZAL President, and Simon Hocquard,
CANSO Director General.
This significant initiative was undertaken during the CANSO 2024
Global ATM Summit and 28th Annual General Meeting, held in Baku
from June 11 to 13.
The CANSO GreenATM programme offers air navigation service
providers internationally recognised accreditation for their
environmental initiatives. It evaluates the ANSP's environmental
impact and efforts to reduce emissions. The accreditation process
evaluates various aspects, including aircraft operations on the
ground, in the aerodrome area, and along the flight route, as well
as infrastructure. Assessment is performed across five levels
within the programme, indicating the effectiveness of environmental
protection measures.
“Our participation in this programme underscores our commitment
to mitigating aviation's environmental impact in Azerbaijan. We
anticipate the positive outcomes that accreditation will yield for
our operations and the broader community. This noteworthy
accomplishment precedes the COP29 summit scheduled to take place in
Baku in November 2024," remarked AZAL President Samir Rzayev at the
signing ceremony.
By adopting the GreenATM concept, Azeraeronavigation ATD strives
to set an example, fostering discussions on sustainable development
and inspiring other stakeholders in the aviation industry to adopt
similar initiatives.
“We extend our gratitude to Azeraeronavigation ATD and
Azerbaijan Airlines for their proactive participation in the CANSO
GreenATM programme. Their commitment marks a pivotal stride toward
realising a more sustainable future for global air traffic
management,” remarked Simon Hocquard during his address.
In the global effort to address climate change, AZANS'
commitment to the CANSO GreenATM programme underscores the aviation
industry's pivotal contribution to global sustainability
objectives.
This initiative not only advances environmental protection but
also establishes a robust precedent for future collaborative
endeavours in sustainable air traffic management.
