National flag carrier Vietnam Airlines has completed SkyTeam’s ‘Sustainable Flight Challenge’, designed to encourage global airlines to find innovative ways to make air travel greener, on long-haul flight VN37 from Hanoi to Frankfurt (Germany).
On this special flight, Vietnam Airlines implemented several environmental protection activities including giving passengers bags made from recycled life vests, serving sustainably sourced meals, and encouraging passengers to use their personal items instead of single-use disposables available onboard.
Joining hands with social enterprise Limloop, Vietnam Airlines recycled hundreds of unusable life vests that no longer met safety requirements into handbags for passengers.
