Airlink Achieves Prestigious Aviation Certification

Airlinks environmental stewardship and sustainability practices have been recognised by the International Air Transport Associations IATA Environmental Assessment IEnvA Organisation.

The IEnvA certification confirms Airlinks compliance with global standards for environmental practices. It also asserts the airlines compliance with the Buckingham Palace Declaration, a landmark agreement that aims to shut down transportation routes exploited by traffickers of the illegal wildlife trade.

Airlinks business and leisure customers are increasingly focused on limiting their environmental impact. Similarly, environmental preservation and wildlife are core to the livelihoods, enterprises and economies of many of the destinations we serve. As a vital link in that chain, Airlink has a duty to make a positive environmental impact, explained de Villiers Engelbrecht , Airlink CEO.

Engelbrecht believes Airlinks IEnvA certification will strengthen customer relations, and build trust among industry partners, regulators and other key players. This is due to the programmes independent assessment of the commitment of airlines, airports, cargo-handling facilities, freight forwarders and other aviation role-players, to continuously improve their environmental and sustainability performance.

The programme also provides guidelines, procedures and other tools to help organisations improve their sustainability management.
