The multi-award-winning airline Air Astana is strengthening its commitment to sustainability and the conservation of natural resources by joining the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) Environmental Assessment Programme. The Environmental Assessment (IEnvA) was developed specifically for the aviation industry. It enables airlines and other companies in the sector to identify and assess their sustainability performance based on international standards and best practices, and to continuously improve their efforts.
With the assistance of IEnvA, Air Astana will implement a structured system to improve its operational procedures and processes. In addition to independent auditing, the program features a phased approach aimed at helping airlines strengthen their management systems, reduce environmental risks, and integrate sustainable practices across all areas.
“Joining IATA’s IEnvA program underscores our commitment to making a valuable contribution to a more sustainable future for aviation in Kazakhstan and beyond,” said Peter Forster, CEO of Air Astana. “This step gives us access to an internationally recognized framework that measures and manages our environmental commitment and drives continuous improvement. It also reflects the responsibility we have towards our passengers, the international community, and the planet; and it aligns with Air Astana’s long-term ESG strategy in the areas of environment, social responsibility, and corporate governance.”
Participation in the IEnvA program also complements Air Astana’s existing initiatives. These include, among other things, the modernization of the fleet with the latest generation of aircraft, measures to increase operational efficiency and reduce fuel consumption, and ongoing collaboration with partners to promote environmental responsibility along the entire aviation value chain.
