The airline has not disclosed emissions data for the years 2015 and 2017, indicating a lack of comprehensive reporting in those years. Despite the absence of specific reduction targets or commitments, Thai Airways is actively engaged in sustainability initiatives, as evidenced by their participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). However, there are currently no Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets or climate pledges reported. The airline's emissions data reflects its operational impact, with a fuel consumption rate of approximately 0.00451 kg CO2e per passenger per kilometre in 2016. This metric highlights the importance of fuel efficiency in reducing overall emissions. Overall, while Thai Airways has made strides in emissions reporting, further transparency and commitment to reduction targets would enhance its climate strategy.
