Environmental Affairs  

Environmental protection is part and parcel of the corporate objectives of Austrian Airlines. In the aviation sector, it is unavoidable for resources to be consumed and emissions produced. For this reason, and taking safety restrictions into consideration, we have been anxious for a number of years to minimise the impact of our activities on the environment. Austrian’s mix of policies has enabled us to record a range of successes in this regard.
The company has succeeded in cutting the rate of increase of emissions produced by our production growth, and keeping this figure low. It has also reduced residual waste volumes by over 50% in recent years, produced energy saving concepts and steadily renewed its fleet. This reduces emissions and noise pollution further still.

Environmental protection will continue to be a priority at Austrian Airlines. The company’s efforts at environmental protection are particularly concentrated on: :
  • Emissions: levels of air quality in and around airports and the global issues surrounding CO2 are of massive importance to us. Austrian is reducing its emissions at a technical and operational level.
  • Noise: noise pollution from Austrian Airlines aircraft has fallen sharply in recent decades. Despite this, the company continues to cooperate with a range of partners to reduce noise levels further.
  • Corporate environmental management: Austrian is optimising its waste volumes, material flows and energy consumption in the departments in question.
  • Communications: companies across the Austrian aviation industry cooperate in an environmental communications platform, the ULI or Environment and Aviation Initiative. In this way, Austrian contributes to the team effort made to protect the environment throughout the sector.
