The IAA is both concerned and proactive to ensure that its activities are as environmentally friendly as possible; we have, therefore, created a series of web pages with which to demonstrate our commitment to the environment, informing and updating readers about our progress and our plans.

The new addition to our website shows the IAA's dedication and resolve to addressing environmental issues across a broad spectrum of initiatives: we are actively pursuing streamlined arrival and descent procedures with the Point Merge concept at Dublin Airport to save our customers time, fuel and carbon emissions - this is an innovative and dynamic solution. 

We are also examining new ways to offset or eradicate our carbon footprint, reduce our energy usage and actively recycle.

The Upper Airspace over Ireland has been redesigned to allow aircraft to fly optimum routes (almost straight line routes) rather than funneling air traffic along restrictive airways thus enabling them to make large energy savings.

But this is just the start of a range of projects that we seek to implement over the coming years. The website will, of course, be updated as and when we introduce new measures. We expect to produce statistics in the near future showing the environmental gains that we have made based upon our close collaboration with our airspace partner the UK's NATS in refashioning our joint airspace and introducing redesigned routes and profiles for our customers.
