"Most Sustainable Flag Carrier Airline" by World Finance, a
renowned institution in the international finance sector.
In a statement from THY Press Consultancy, the airline expressed
pride in achieving this prestigious accolade for three consecutive
years.
Amid the challenges posed by the climate crisis to the aviation
industry, THY stands out for its commitment to providing
sustainable travel experiences. This commitment includes
initiatives such as their voluntary carbon balancing platform
"CO2mission," the adoption of "Sustainable Aviation Fuel" (SAF),
the implementation of in-flight sustainable products, and efficient
waste management practices.
"We are dedicated to integrating sustainable practices across
all facets of our operations," stated Prof. Dr. Ahmet Bolat,
Chairman of the Board and Executive Committee of THY, expressing
his satisfaction with the award.
Bolat underscored the significance of this recognition,
affirming THY's steadfast commitment to sustainability and
environmental stewardship:
"At Turkish Airlines, our strategic objective is to rank among
the top 3 airlines globally in digitalization. Aligned with our
pledge to achieve Carbon Neutrality by 2050, we commenced the use
of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in 2022 to combat climate
change. In 2023, we expanded SAF utilisation to include new flight
routes. Looking ahead, we remain steadfast in expanding our flight
network and embedding sustainable practices throughout all our
operations."
Since 2008, THY has implemented over 100 projects aimed at
reducing its carbon footprint, achieving notable success in
enhancing fuel efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in
2023.
