The Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) and the Mangaluru International Airport are among the twelve airports in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East to get the Green Airports Recognition 2023.
The Green Airports Recognition aims to promote environmental best practices to minimise aviation’s impact on the environment and recognise airport members who have outstanding accomplishments in their environmental projects.
ACI said that during the past decades, our industry has grown exponentially and is expected to continue to do so in the years to come.
“As air transport continues to grow, a substantial volume of waste is expected to be generated at airports. One such concern is the increasing worldwide concern about the impact of single-use plastic pollution, especially within the aviation industry,” ACI said.
The theme for the Green Airports Recognition 2023 is Single Use Plastic Elimination.
The outstanding airports are awarded into three categories: platinum, gold or silver recognition, according to various airport size categories and set criteria.
