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 three airlines in terms of digitalisation. In line with our commitment to becoming a Carbon-Neutral Airline by 2050, we incorporated the use of 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.”
Since 2008, Turkish Airlines has conducted over 100 operational optimisation projects to reduce its carbon footprint. In 2023, the airline achieved significant success in fuel savings and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
