Committed to long-term decarbonisation

The Airport Community Environmental Forum was held on 2 September to facilitate key discussions between the AA and 19 airport community business partners on Hong Kong's Long-Term Decarbonisation Strategy. During the bi-annual event, AA Assistant General Manager, Sustainability Mike Kilburn proposed a number of possible pathways for decarbonisation in the future.

The AA provided updates on its ongoing environmental programmes, including its 2019 Carbon Reduction Award Scheme, shared key findings from the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System (EMS) audits and announced the upcoming Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) Carbon Management Senior Executive Roundtable Luncheon to celebrate its business partners’ continuous efforts in carrying out carbon reduction initiatives.

Business partner HAECO also showcased its green dry wash product used to wash aircraft in an eco-friendly way, which will save significant amounts of water, generate less chemical effluents and cut carbon emissions and improve operational efficiency by reducing aircraft towing distances.
