Vietjet Thailand successfully concluded its Fly Green sustainability campaign in Phetchaburi today, 1st August.
The campaign sought to strengthen the airline’s commitment to protecting the environment through hands-on action and community engagement.
Held from Wednesday, 30th July, to today, the event drew in over 300 participants including government representatives, university students, local volunteers, and Vietjet staff, all working together to clean coastal habitats and restore natural ecosystems.
During the closing ceremony, Vietjet Thailand’s vice-president for corporate affairs Sayada Benjakul reiterated the airline’s environmental mission.
Benjakul declared: “For Vietjet Thailand, we place great importance on conducting our business alongside strong commitment to social and environmental responsibility. We are dedicated to contributing to the conservation of natural resources, minimizing environmental impact, and fostering sustainability awareness among our staff and passengers through various ongoing initiatives and activities carried out over the years under the Fly Green campaign.”
As part of its long-term sustainability vision, Vietjet Thailand remains dedicated to expanding its Fly Green initiatives, inspiring greater environmental awareness, and taking bold action to preserve Thailand’s ecosystems today and into the future.
A collaborative effort
This campaign was part of Vietjet Thailand’s ongoing Fly Green Fund initiative, a corporate social responsibility programme dedicated to promoting sustainable development, ecosystem restoration, and environmental education across the country.
Organised in collaboration with the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), the Chaipattana Foundation, and academic institutions, the Fly Green programme brings together communities to take part in hands-on activities that benefit the environment and raise public awareness.
This time’s initiative resulted in the collection of over 500 kilograms of marine and shoreline waste through the 19th Fly Green: Garbage Hunter activity at Chao Samran Beach.
This brings the total amount of waste collected throughout the project to over 5,300 kilograms.
Furthermore, the fifth Fly Green: Mangrove Forest campaign achieved 3,000 mangrove trees planted, and 10,000 freshwater fish released into the wetlands of Laem Phak Bia.
Pongisara Roilap, manager of the Phetchaburi Provincial Office of the Royal Project at Laem Phak Bia, praised the collaborative effort.
He said: "This is a commendable collaboration between the Laem Phak Bia Royal Project, the Chaipattana Foundation, and Vietjet Thailand in organizing a mangrove planting activity aimed at preserving and restoring environmental quality, creating balance in the ecosystem, and serving as a learning center for the public and future generations. Our project is ready to support the airline and the public with knowledge on the conservation of natural resources and the environment through this joint mangrove reforestation effort here in Phetchaburi Province. In addition to increasing green spaces, the activity also fosters awareness of the vital role mangrove forests play in local communities and surrounding ecosystems. I firmly believe that today’s activity will serve as a starting point for positive change: benefiting the community, the environment, and the sustainable well-being of the people."
