October 2, 2025, Samarkand. Uzbekistan's strategic goal is to ensure environmental sustainability and economic growth by transitioning to a resource-efficient, "green" development model. In this regard, 2025 was declared the "Year of Environmental Protection and Green Economy" by the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev.
Samarkand International Airport, operated by Air Marakanda, has successfully confirmed its compliance with high international standards in the areas of quality, ecology, and safety by obtaining ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certificates.
The main standards integrated into the IMS:
-
ISO 9001 establishes a quality management system that ensures smooth processes and a high level of service for passengers and airport partners.
-
ISO 14001 confirms the implementation of an environmentally responsible approach aimed at reducing environmental impact and rational use of resources.
-
ISO 45001 reflects attention to occupational health and safety issues, which reduces production risks and creates safe conditions for employees.
An integrated management system based on international ISO standards has made it possible to combine quality, environmental, and occupational health and safety requirements into a single comprehensive management system. This approach eliminates duplication of processes, optimizes the use of resources, and makes the activities of the company managing Samarkand Airport more efficient and transparent.
"Becoming the first company in the civil aviation sector of the Republic of Uzbekistan to successfully pass a certified audit for the implementation of an integrated quality management system is not only professional recognition, but also an important step towards shaping an environmentally responsible future for the company. We strive to be not only a transport hub, but also an example of sustainable development that meets international standards," said Ulugbek Shamsikulov, CEO of Air Marakanda LLC.
Thus, Air Marakanda is not only expanding its flight geography and improving the quality of passenger service, but also forming a modern corporate culture, paying special attention to creating safe and favorable working conditions for employees.
