Congratulazioni e benvenuti in Airport Carbon Accreditation Trapani Airport 🌍 ✈️

Trapani Airport, operated by Airgest S.p.A., has begun its carbon management journey by joining Airport Carbon Accreditation at Level , operated by Airgest S.p.A., has begun its carbon management journey by joining Airport Carbon Accreditation at LevelAena 2.

The results speak for themselves. In 2024, emissions fell significantly compared with the base year, driven by a sharp drop in diesel consumption for heating and the absence of refrigerant gas leaks. In 2025, emissions remained well below base year levels, supported by the commissioning of the airport's photovoltaic plant and the gradual rollout of more energy efficient solutions.

Looking ahead, the airport plans to replace its company fleet, introduce 400 Hz systems and expand photovoltaic generation, as part of its longer term ambition to reach net zero emissions by 2050.

The certificate was presented by Olivier Jankovec, Director General of ACI EUROPE, to Salvatore Ombra, President of Airgest, and Enrico Malato, General Director of Airgest, during a ceremony attended by Alessandro Aricò, Transport Minister for Regione Siciliana.

Dublin Airport has become the first location in Ireland to introduce pantograph charging for electric buses, backed by a €17 million investment in cleaner ground transport.

The new infrastructure powers a 14-vehicle electric shuttle fleet operated by Aircoach, carrying passengers between car parks and terminals for around 2.5 million journeys a year. Fast, automated charging arms top up the buses at route endpoints, cutting the need for lengthy depot stops and keeping services running smoothly throughout the day.

The switch from diesel to electric is expected to save over 1,470 tonnes of CO2e annually, with funding support from the European Commission's Connecting Europe Facility.

Dublin Airport currently holds Level 4+ certification under Airport Carbon Accreditation, placing it among the top 13% of airports worldwide for carbon management, and this project marks another step in its broader decarbonisation strategy✈️🌍

Nadi International Airport, operated by Fiji Airports, has broken ground on Fiji’s largest airport solar farm, marking a significant step in its carbon management journey.

The 3.25 megawatt installation is expected to meet the airport’s current electricity demand while building in additional capacity for future development. It is part of a wider approach to strengthen energy resilience, manage operational costs and reduce emissions over time.

Already certified at Level 4 of Airport Carbon Accreditation, Nadi continues to demonstrate how airports can move from planning to implementation, embedding carbon reduction into infrastructure decisions and long term growth.

Uzbekistan is now on the Airport Carbon Accreditation map. Nine airports operated by Uzbekistan Airports JSC have joined the programme, marking a significant step in bringing carbon management across the country’s airport network 🌍🛬

Eight airports have been accredited at Level 1, while Tashkent International Airport has joined directly at Level 2, making it the highest-accredited airport in Central Asia under Airport Carbon Accreditation.

From emissions monitoring and energy efficiency to stakeholder engagement and longer-term decarbonisation, this is an important move for Uzbekistan’s airports.

In our latest interview, Olubunmi Oluwaseun Kuku, Managing Director and Chief Executive of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), shares how FAAN is strengthening its sustainability strategy across its airport network, with Airport Carbon Accreditation helping to guide practical action on emissions reduction, energy efficiency, electric mobility, renewable energy and waste management.

In the discussion, she highlights how FAAN is working closely with stakeholders across the airport ecosystem to build stronger alignment around climate action, while gradually extending its carbon management efforts beyond Murtala Muhammed International Airport. From improved metering and LED lighting to electric transit services and solar-powered charging systems, FAAN is turning sustainability ambition into operational change 🌍 ✈️

Kudos to YFC Fredericton International Airport on achieving Level 2 of Airport Carbon Accreditation 🧡✈️

The airport has strengthened its carbon management by developing a comprehensive ESG and Carbon Management Plan, establishing a dedicated Sustainability Committee, and already delivering measurable reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.

Congratulations to Stuttgart Airport, winner of the 2026 Eco Innovation Award, presented by ACI EUROPE in partnership with Airport Carbon Accreditation 👏 🥇

The airport has demonstrated how the electrification of ground operations can move from concept to reality through the implementation of an all electric aircraft turnaround. At the centre of this achievement is the world's first operational 40,000 litre fully electric refuelling truck, integrated with an expanding fleet of electric ground service equipment and supported by smart charging infrastructure.

These efforts have helped avoid more than 1 million litres of diesel consumption annually and reduced apron fleet emissions by 97.6% since 2013, bringing Stuttgart Airport closer to its ambition of reaching net zero by 2040.

Highly commended was iGA Istanbul Airport for its integrated approach to sustainability and operational optimisation. Among its achievements, the airport has become the world's first mega hub airport to meet its entire electricity demand through solar energy, while advancing initiatives in water circularity and resource efficiency as part of its Net Zero 2050 roadmap.

Both airports demonstrate that innovation is not only about new technologies. It is about finding practical ways to accelerate decarbonisation and embed sustainability into everyday airport operations 🌍 🛫

Tomorrow, the Airport Carbon Accreditation team will be at the exhibition of the 36th ACI EUROPE Annual Congress & General Assembly, and we would be delighted to meet you.

If you are interested in airport decarbonisation, carbon management, or the practical steps airports are taking to reduce their emissions, stop by our stand and have a chat with the team.

Whether you are already involved in the programme, considering participation, or simply curious to learn more, we will be happy to answer your questions and discuss how airports across the world are advancing their climate action efforts.

And, of course, we will have a few Airport Carbon Accreditation goodies waiting for everyone 🎁

We look forward to seeing you there 🌍✈️

Paris Aéroport, operated by Groupe ADP and currently accredited at Level 4 of Airport Carbon Accreditation, is testing a hydrogen powered utility vehicle as part of its efforts to reduce emissions from airport operations.

Conducted in partnership with Toyota France and supported by the European Commission through the OLGA Project, the trial evaluated the performance of a hydrogen fuel cell pick up truck in a regulated airport environment.

With a range of nearly 700 kilometres and a refuelling time of around four minutes, the vehicle demonstrates how alternative energy solutions could support the decarbonisation of airport fleets in the future.

The trial forms part of a broader fleet modernisation strategy by Groupe ADP. Today, 55% of its light vehicle fleet at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport has already been replaced with electric vehicles, with a target of reaching 90% by 2030 🌍 🛬

A world first for İGA İstanbul Airport, which has become the first airport globally to meet 100% of its electricity needs from solar energy 🌍✈️

Currently accredited at Level 4 of Airport Carbon Accreditation, the airport has inaugurated its 240 MW Eskişehir Solar Power Plant, developed through a €220 million investment across approximately 3 million square metres. The project is among the largest renewable energy investments in the global aviation sector.

The solar power plant is expected to prevent 212,800 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually. In addition, the airport has reduced its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 27.8% compared with its 2019 baseline.

By sourcing all of its operational electricity from renewable energy, iGA Istanbul Airport is taking a significant step towards its 2050 net zero emissions target and demonstrating how large scale energy transition projects can support airport decarbonisation.
