On June 5, coinciding with World Environment Day, Turkish Airlines launched its new sustainability brand, 'Tomorrow On-Board,' at Istanbul Airport. The event featured the unveiling of sustainable in-flight products and an art exhibition showcasing works made from repurposed aircraft materials.

The 'Tomorrow On-Board' initiative reflects Turkish Airlines' commitment to sustainability. During the event, Chief Investment & Strategy Officer Levent Konukcu emphasized the airline's dedication to reducing its environmental impact through transparent and accessible sustainability practices.

The exhibition titled "41.2607° North and 28.7424° East" displayed artworks crafted from decommissioned aircraft parts, flight crew uniforms, and cabin materials. This two-week exhibition at Istanbul Airport underscores the airline's goal of promoting a better world through creative reuse of materials.

Turkish Airlines aims to use 'Tomorrow On-Board' to communicate its sustainability goals to passengers and investors. The initiative focuses on enhancing the brand image, delivering a unified message, and engaging passengers in sustainability activities. The airline envisions this platform as a cornerstone of its environmental strategy and corporate culture.

In line with its sustainability policy, Turkish Airlines is committed to combating climate change, improving fuel efficiency, and supporting sustainable biofuel research. The airline also prioritizes noise reduction, waste management, and the use of lifecycle-sustainable products.

Turkish Airlines’ policies further aim to add value to stakeholders, promote gender balance, and support innovation. By integrating sustainability into its growth and profitability goals, the airline strives to create societal value and support local economic and social development in the regions it serves.

Through 'Tomorrow On-Board,' Turkish Airlines reinforces its role as a responsible global carrier, dedicated to leaving a positive environmental legacy for future generations.
