Bangkok Airways continues to uphold its pledge to become a carbon-neutral airline. Its latest effort is the upcycling of its used staff uniforms to produce various goods. Bangkok Airways is the latest in a growing number of airlines that are turning towards clothing and uniforms to reduce their carbon footprint. Finnair has gone a step further and is turning old uniforms into park benches.
Most airlines have started sustainability initiatives, with most aiming to become carbon neutral by 2050 at least. Passengers prefer to fly more environmentally friendly airlines, so much so that it’s become a selling point. It has forced budding airlines, like Akasa Air, to focus on being sustainable, even though it’s more expensive.
