The trio, who fittingly all received their accolades in virtual presentations in time for World Environment Day, were recognised for their significant efforts in water management. Six other airports received Gold or Silver recognition for their efforts in the same area, with everyone's collective initiatives essentially focused on waste water treatment, water harvesting, water recycling and water reduction. Taoyuan International Airport scooped Platinum in the Over 35 million passengers per annum category where Delhi-Indira Gandhi International Airport (Gold) and Mumbai-Chhatrapati Shivaji APA Issue 2, 2020

While Kaohsiung International Airport (Platinum), Adelaide Airport (Gold) and Sharjah Airport (Silver) triumphed in the category for airports handling less than 15 million passengers per annum. “World Environment Day is a fitting day to thank all participating airports for their ongoing commitment and contribution to environmental protection,” said ACI AsiaPacific’s director general, Stefano Baronci. “The Green Airports Recognition programme fits perfectly into this context by encouraging airport operators across the region and globally to share environmental best practices.”
