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 we are doing anything to minimize our impact on the environment. In recent years we could record a range of successes in this regard.

We have succeeded in reducing our emissions within the last years. We have also reduced our hazardous waste volumes, introduced energy saving concepts and steadily renewed our fleet. This reduces emissions and noise pollution further.

• Emissions: levels of air quality in and around airports and the global issues surrounding CO₂ are of massive importance to us. We are reducing our emissions through technical and operational measures.
• Noise: noise pollution from Austrian Airlines aircraft has fallen sharply in recent decades. Despite this, we continue to cooperate with a range of partners to reduce noise levels further.
• Corporate environmental management: we are optimising our 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 (Environment and Aviation Initiative). In this way, Austrian contributes to the team effort made to protect the environment throughout the sector.
