Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) has unveiled its 2025 Sustainability Report, detailing significant strides in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) priorities. Released on 26 May 2026, the report reveals a reduction of 103,424 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions through enhanced fuel efficiency, achieving total fuel savings of 30,036 tonnes.
MAG’s fleet modernisation programme is a key component of its sustainability strategy, with the introduction of next-generation aircraft such as the A330neo and Boeing 737-8. These aircraft contribute to improved fuel performance and reduced emissions. Additionally, the proportion of MAG’s fleet meeting the stringent International Civil Aviation Organisation’s Chapter 14 noise standards increased from 8.6% in 2023 to 15.6% in 2025.
In a pioneering move, MAG completed its first pilot Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) uplift on the Kuala Lumpur–London route, in collaboration with PETRONAS. The group also implemented a 2% SAF uplift for flights departing from the UK and Europe, aligning with international regulatory requirements.
Philip See, MAG’s Group Chief Sustainability Officer, emphasised the importance of sustainability in the group’s Long-Term Business Plan 3.0, stating, “Sustainability remains a key enabler of our Long-Term Business Plan 3.0 (LTBP3.0), supporting our ambition to build a more resilient and future-ready aviation Group whilst progressing towards our long-term decarbonisation ambitions.”
Beyond environmental efforts, MAG has made notable progress in workforce diversity, with 51% of its over 1,000 new hires in 2025 being women. The group also launched initiatives to encourage female participation in aviation careers, reaching nearly 500 students nationwide.
MAG continues to foster partnerships and initiatives that support sustainability, digitalisation, and employee-led programmes, reinforcing its commitment to responsible growth and long-term value creation.
