Air Astana joins the IATA environmental program (IEnvA).
Multi-award-winning airline Air Astana is strengthening its commitment to sustainability and conserving natural resources by joining the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Environmental Certification Programme. Environmental Assessment (IEnvA) was developed specifically for aviation. It enables airlines and other companies in the industry to identify and rank their sustainability performance based on international standards and best practices and make continuous progress.
Air Astana will implement a structured system to improve the company’s processes and operations with the help of IEnvA. In addition to the independent review, the program adopts a step-by-step approach with the aim of ensuring that airlines strengthen their management systems, reduce environmental risks and integrate sustainable practices across the board.
“Joining IATA’s IEnvA program underscores our promise to make a valuable contribution to a more sustainable aviation future in Kazakhstan and beyond,” said Peter Forster, CEO of Air Astana. “This move gives us access to a world-renowned framework that measures and manages our commitment to the environment and drives continuous improvement. This also reflects the responsibility we have towards our passengers, the international community and the planet; and is in line with Air Astana’s long-term Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy in the areas of ESG.”
Participation in the IEnvA program also complements Air Astana’s existing initiatives. This includes, among other things, updating the fleet with the latest generation of aircraft, taking measures to increase operational efficiency and reduce fuel consumption, and ongoing cooperation with partners to promote environmental responsibility along the entire aviation value chain.
