Business innovation for the environment

"Unlabeled Bottled Water" (using the technique of embossing details on the bottle instead of using plastic labels) is a new alternative provided by the Company on flights in 2022. It helps facilitate the recycling process of plastic bottles by eliminating the need for label separation. Furthermore, based on the number of passengers using the airline service in 2022, the use of unlabeled bottled water can potentially reduce the production of plastic labels by more than 3 million pieces.

"Pilot World Application" is an innovative project developed within the Company as part of the award-winning competition for creative ideas, "PG Innovation Award Project (Season 2) - 2019". This system serves as a centralized One Stop Services for pilots, providing essential pre-flight information. It includes checking specialized training data from the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand as mandated by the regulations, requesting documents electronically through forms for various purposes, and conducting aviation-related checks regarding fuel usage. The aim is to promote awareness, enhance resource efficiency, and enhance responsible resource utilization with utmost focus on safety as the ultimate goal.

Benefits of developing the Pilot World Application for organizational use include:

  1. Between the years 2019-2022, the Company achieved a significant reduction in fuel consumption per flight. Fuel consumption decreased by more than 4% compared to the period before implementing the system. In 2022, the Company was able to save over 132,400,000 baht in fuel costs.
  2. The Company has been able to reduce operational costs, including procurement and document handling expenses. This includes savings from eliminating the use of physical logbooks and various request forms completed by pilots.
  3. Employees have gained more flexibility in managing their time due to the electronic system. This allows them to allocate their time for further development and other activities.

Environmental Benefits

  1. As the system operates in an electronic format, there is no paper resource consumption.
  2. The significant reduction in fuel consumption per flight has led to a decrease in carbon footprint emissions of more than 10,868 tons in 2022
