7 永續飛行Sustainable Aviation Recognizing the growing global demands for netzero strategies, aviation security regulations, and intelligent management, TTIA has risen to the challenge. In July, TIAC was recognized for the fourth time by the Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Award (TCSA), winning silvers under the category of SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure. Following this success, it published the ESG Report demonstrating its commitment to sustainable actions and organized the Taoyuan Airport Forum after the themes of "Smart Airport: Towards Sustainable Development" and "Technology & Smart Innovations in Airport Operations" for sharing and discussions. Elevate Operational Efficiency Through Technology In his address, Vice Premier Cheng Wen-tsan highlighted the swift recovery of international tourism after the pandemic as the number of visitors to Taiwan is expected to exceed 6 million this year, emphasizing the importance of learning from other airports to streamline the passport control process through intelligent technologies. Ministry of Transportation and Communications Wang Kwo-tsai echoed this sentiment, envisioning TTIA's service capacity reaching 82 million passengers and 80 to 90 flights per hour and elevating its logistics capacity to global standards after the completion of Terminal 3 and the third runway. Chairman Yang Wei-fuu stressed the need for collaboration within the aviation industry to address the new challenges posed by sustainable development, concluding that TIAC will continue to push for smart and green initiatives to strengthen operational resilience in environmental sustainability, social integration, and corporate governance. The forum featured keynote speeches from Stefano Baronci, Director General of Airports Council International Asia-Pacific and Middle East, Daisuke Komine, Regional Relations Manager of Kansai Airports, and Masashi Yokozuka, Air Cargo Marketing and Sales Manager of Narita International Airport Corporation. Additionally, TIAC Assistant Vice President Yu Chung-li shared TTIA's experience in his presentation on the digital strategy for the airport's "dual-axis" transformation. China Airlines' Senior Vice President Eddy Liu and EVA Air's Executive Vice President Yeh Shihchung were also invited to share their insights on how airlines can apply technology to address the trend of green transportation. Driving Sustainability through Innovation In response to the green transportation trend, TIAC has integrated innovation into its corporate ethos, focusing on environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG). This means introducing a circular economy to achieve its 2050 netzero emissions goal, establishing diversified communication channels with stakeholders, and prioritizing "safety" and "professionalism" in airport operations, aligning itself with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. Despite the many challenges faced, Taoyuan International Airport Corp.(TIAC) is committed to sustainable development by promoting smart initiatives, environmental protection, social responsibility, and corporate governance. Besides winning sustainability awards for four consecutive years, TIAC also hosted the 2023 Taoyuan Airport Forum, inviting industry, government, and academic representatives to explore the development trends of sustainable smart airports. ▲ 董事長楊偉甫與ACI 亞太及中東區域總監Stefano Baronci 就智慧化議題進行交流。 Chairman Yang Wei-fuu exchanges views on intelligent initiatives with Director General of Airports Council International Asia-Pacific and Middle East Stefano Baronci.
