Hong Kong – 9 December 2025 – AEROTHAI has been recognised for its strong commitment to environmental responsibility by achieving Level 2 accreditation in CANSO’s environmental accreditation GreenATM programme – becoming the first air navigation service provider (ANSP) in the Asia Pacific region to reach this milestone.
Launched in 2022, CANSO’s GreenATM framework provides a global benchmark to assess and guide ANSPs in improving environmental performance through operational efficiency and sustainable practices. The programme consists of five levels, each representing deeper integration of environmental management into an organisation’s strategy, operations, and culture.
AEROTHAI’s Level 2 assessment highlighted the organisation’s strong foundations in environmental awareness, planning and policy.
The ANSP received full points across all Level 1 categories and presented a comprehensive set of initiatives – many of which are already in progress – to further reduce aviation’s environmental impact.
With continued emphasis on monitoring and measuring benefits, AEROTHAI is well-positioned to progress toward Level 3 in the coming years.
The assessment also praised AEROTHAI’s leadership in Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) and Research and Development (R&D), noting high marks that reflect long-term commitment and regional influence in both areas.
Mr. Surachai Nuprom, Executive Vice President and Acting President of AEROTHAI, said: “The aviation sector is committed to sustainability, a commitment that AEROTHAI fully shares. AEROTHAI focuses on eco-efficiency, integrating environmental responsibility into every aspect of our operations. We work towards improving efficiency in air traffic management, especially in terms of air traffic flow management, flexible use of airspace, performance-based navigation and take an active role in research and development. We also encourage environmental awareness throughout the organization including community engagement in sustainable practices. Achieving Level 2 in CANSO’s GreenATM accreditation represents a significant milestone for AEROTHAI in advancing our sustainability objectives, in alignment with regional and global environmental goals. We remain committed to actively improving our operations and working closely with stakeholders and airspace users towards more sustainable aviation.”
Simon Hocquard, CANSO President and CEO, congratulated AEROTHAI on the achievement: “AEROTHAI’s strong performance in the GreenATM programme reflects a deep and genuine commitment to environmental progress. Their leadership in ATFM and R&D is setting an example not only for the region but for the global aviation community. We are delighted to see AEROTHAI reach this important milestone and look forward to supporting them as they continue their sustainability journey.”
