Sustainability & Environmental Efforts

Bangkok Airways’ website does not clearly state a sustainability policy but has committed to a number of measures to reduce environmental impacts of flying and at the airport. These include:

Exploring options for the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) to reduce emissions.
Given the airlines’ ownership of several airports, there is an active focus on improving airport design through:
- The use of natural materials and translucent buildings to reduce the need for artificial illumination, and the allocation of more green spaces around the airport.
- The installation of electric vehicle (EV) charging ports, using low-burning refrigerants, and replacing over 80% of airport lights with LEDs.
- The implementation of separate waste bins, the promotion of zero plastic use, and the employment of eco-friendly containers.
- A comprehensive wastewater treatment system recycles water for airport landscaping, achieving zero wastewater discharge and reducing CO2 emissions by over 39.7 tonnes annually.
- The upgrade of apron lighting in the airport’s parking lot to LEDs, installing solar cells, converting ground service vehicles to electric, and developing the airport into a Green Terminal.
