Introduction
International Air Transport Association (IATA) and other international aviation
organisations have worked in partnership to develop sensible environmental policies for airlines

sustainable and eco-efficient air transportation. It advocates globally accepted solutions for
airlines to make sure that they follow standardise procedure focused on climate change,
CORSIA, aircraft noise, local air quality, and illegal wildlife trafficking ( International Air
Transport Association (IATA), 2019).
The international policy standards are focused on developing environmental standards
recommended under the policy structure of the International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO). It is focused on working with airlines to identify globally accepted policy structure in
mitigating sector’s impact in providing input to regulate their procedures and work on
international negotiation (International Civil Aviation Organization, 2018).

airlines. The organisation is using a procedure called Flex tracks to plan and optimise their route,
it also has initiated a program called tailored arrivals to control air traffic uplink with its aircraft
to determine the speed and flight program with a continuous descent profile, saving fuel, and
carbon emission (The Emirates Group., 2019).
Compliance Regulations, Legal Parameters, And Policies to Manage Environmental Issues
Considering the status of the UAE market, it is important for the government to plan its
policies and procedures to preserve the natural environment planned by the governmental and
quasi-governmental authority. It is important for airlines and their stakeholder to work on
relevant environmental regulations ensuring their compliance with operations and processes to
avoid any legal or ethical issue towards their brand image. As stated under Federal Law # 24 of
1999 (Thacker & SK, 2019). The legislative framework designed to preserve Protection and
Development of Environment is based on the defined standards,
- Protecting and conserving the natural balance and quality of the environment
- Controlling the form of pollution to avoid any long term harm towards the environment
resulting in economic, industrial, or social development
- Developing natural resources to conserve biological diversity.
- Protecting the society (and their living standards) from activities imposing harm towards
the environment
- Protecting the UAE environment from harmful activities being carried out within the
state
- Complying the international and regional conversation ratified under the UAE
environmental standards while protecting it (Thacker & SK, 2019).
