Turkish Airlines has been awarded the Most Sustainable Flag Carrier Airline award by World Finance for its sustainability initiatives in the aviation sector, including voluntary carbon offset platforms, Sustainable Aviation Fuel use, in-flight products, waste management, and sustainable travel experiences.
Commenting on the award, Turkish Airlines Chairman of the Board and Executive Committee, Prof. Ahmet Bolat, said: “Receiving the Most Sustainable Flag Carrier Airline award for the third year running is a testament to our dedication to sustainability and environmental stewardship. Turkish Airlines has set a strategic goal to become one of the world’s top 3 airlines in terms of digitalization. In line with our commitment to becoming a Carbon-Neutral Airline by 2050, we incorporated the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) into our climate change mitigation plans in 2022, and we further expanded our use of SAF to new routes in 2023. We will continue to add new routes to our SAF-powered network and pursue our commitment to sustainable practices throughout our operations.”
Turkish Airlines has successfully reduced its carbon footprint through over 100 operational optimization projects since 2008, achieving significant fuel savings and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in 2023, as recognized by the World Finance Sustainability Awards.
