Asiana Airlines
Asiana Airlines is always evolving to ensure more enjoyable and comfortable travel
Asiana Airlines was the first carrier to obtain the ISO14001 (Environmental management system) certification in 1995, and defined the environment as a matter for decision-making based on ISO140001. Consequently, Asiana Airlines recognizes the social responsibility for environmental pollution prevention besides the fundamental objective of the company – the quest for profit. To prevent environmental pollution, Asiana Airlines has established an environmental policy and objectives in detail, and implements them in order to minimize pollution.
As the noise and exhaust gases generated by the aircraft operation are an important issue, Asian Airlines maintains and operates Stage III engines only, which comply with the noise regulation criteria set by the ICAO (International Air Transport Association) for all operational aircraft to minimize noise and exhaust emissions.
Accordingly, each team implements the environmental management program continuously in order to manage the environmental impact, and improves the program by management review after internal and external inspection once a year.
