Fifth Edition of Green Airports Recognition Open for Application

The aviation industry is committed to reducing its environmental footprint. This is why, ACI AsiaPacific continues to encourage and recognize outstanding ACI Asia-Pacific airports’ efforts to protect the environment. Now in its fifth year, applications for Green Airports Recognition 2021 are now open.

Every year, a theme is selected from one of the ten environmental aspects airports need to manage. These themes are also tracked in the biennial ACI Asia-Pacific Environmental Survey. The theme for Green Airport Recognition 2021 is ‘Air Quality Management’, specifically emphasizing local air quality management benefits rather than CO2 emission and excluding indoor air quality. This theme shall include projects aiming to improve airport local air quality and air pollutant reduction.

By participating in this initiative, members can share environmental success stories with other airports in the region, and stand a chance to be recognized for their efforts and outstanding achievements.

“Over the past four years, the ACI Asia-Pacific Green Airports Recognition programme has received more than 70 environmental best practices submissions from across the region,” said Stefano Baronci, Director General, ACI AsiaPacific. “This is a clear signal of our members’ commitment to minimize aviation’s impact on the environment and willingness to share best practices for the betterment of the entire airport community.”

The programme description, application form and project form are now available and can also be downloaded from the programme website: www.aci-asiapac.aero/services/main/42/
