Krystal School of Excellence Celebrates World Environment Day with Zero Waste Kitchen Initiative

By Nithyakala Neelakandan

Published on June 7, 2024

On World Environment Day, Krystal School of Excellence (KSE) showcased its commitment to culinary sustainability with the launch of its Zero Waste Kitchen initiative. This event highlighted the theme of "Land restoration, desertification, and drought resilience," emphasizing KSE's dedication to environmental restoration and sustainability.

The celebration, held on June 3rd, featured a transformative session aimed at educating students about the importance of a Zero Waste Kitchen. The session included various demonstrations of waste-free methods that exemplify sustainable culinary practices. One of the key highlights was the use of vegetable peels to create nutritious peel chips and effective fertilizers. Additionally, students learned how to repurpose lemon waste as a versatile cleaner for kitchen appliances.

The session began with a creative approach, turning vegetable peels into crunchy snack chips. This not only provided a tasty treat but also significantly reduced kitchen waste. Following this, students demonstrated how these peels could be converted into fertilizer, enhancing soil quality instead of contributing to landfill. The versatility of vegetable peels was further showcased by making a flavorful vegetable stock, perfect for soups and stews. Students also created onion and garlic powder from leftover peels, adding depth to dishes while minimizing waste.

In another insightful demonstration, students explored the potential of lemon waste as a natural cleaning agent. Utilizing the acidity of lemons, they effectively cleaned various kitchen surfaces and appliances, presenting an eco-friendly alternative to chemical cleaners.

The event also included a gardening segment where students were taught to grow tomatoes using kitchen scraps. By planting tomato cuttings in small pots of soil, KSE illustrated how anyone can cultivate fresh produce at home, promoting self-sufficiency and sustainability.

KSE emphasized the importance of proper waste segregation, distinguishing between organic and non-organic waste for effective disposal and recycling. Through hands-on activities and informative discussions, students learned about regrowing lettuce and basil, as well as extracting onion and garlic powder from remnants, highlighting the transformative potential of mindful consumption.

This initiative by Krystal School of Excellence underscores their strong commitment to environmental protection and the incorporation of sustainable practices in the hospitality industry. It paves the way for a more environmentally conscious and greener future, encouraging students to adopt and promote sustainability in their personal and professional lives.

Etihad and Vietnam Airlines Announce New Codeshare and Loyalty Partnership

By Manu Vardhan Kannan

Published on November 23, 2025

Etihad Airways and Vietnam Airlines have taken their partnership forward with the launch of a new codeshare agreement. This move builds on Etihad’s recently introduced Abu Dhabi–Hanoi service, creating smoother travel options between the UAE and Vietnam.

With this partnership, Etihad guests can now book onward journeys to major domestic destinations in Vietnam as well as popular cities across Asia, all on a single ticket. Travellers also benefit from one check-in and automatic baggage transfer, making Abu Dhabi an easy connection point to the Middle East, Europe, and Africa.

Arik De, Chief Revenue and Commercial Officer, Etihad Airways, said: "This partnership with Vietnam Airlines delivers significant value to our guests by unlocking access to some of Asia's most dynamic and popular destinations. Our new Abu Dhabi-Hanoi service has been warmly received, and this codeshare agreement transforms it into a gateway to Vietnam's most exciting cities. Combined with our frequent flyer partnership, which enables loyalty members of both airlines to earn and redeem miles across our combined global networks, this collaboration underscores our commitment to providing our guests with greater flexibility, broader reach, and superior travel experiences."

From Vietnam Airlines’ perspective, this collaboration builds on the Memorandum of Understanding signed earlier. Nguyen Quang Trung, Director of Corporate Planning and Development, Vietnam Airlines, said: “Vietnam Airlines is pleased to advance our partnership with Etihad Airways through this new codeshare agreement, following the Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2024. The collaboration offers seamless access to Etihad’s network across the Middle East, Europe, and Africa, while allowing more travellers to experience Vietnam Airlines’ signature warmth and hospitality. Together with our expanded frequent-flyer partnership, this agreement enhances convenience, broadens destination choices, and strengthens tourism and economic ties between Vietnam and the UAE.”

The rollout of the codeshare will take place in phases. As it expands, passengers of Vietnam Airlines will gain access to six destinations beyond Abu Dhabi, Athens, Addis Ababa, Bahrain, Muscat, Cairo, and Istanbul, opening up a wider network across the Middle East, Europe, and Africa through Etihad’s strong connectivity.

Etihad and Vietnam Airlines already have a frequent flyer partnership in place. Launched in July 2025, it allows Etihad Guest and Lotus Miles members to earn and redeem miles across both airlines’ networks. This loyalty integration adds more value to the newly announced codeshare, giving travellers broader options and smoother travel experiences.
