ACI launches airport carbon reduction program

Eco-Aviation Today, July 10, 2009, p.6

A new accreditation plan dubbed Airport Carbon Accreditation was launched last month at the 19th Airports Council International annual congress in Manchester.

ACA will "assess and recognize airports' efforts to manage and reduce CO2 emissions within their direct control" while taking into account collaborative efforts with airlines, air traffic controllers, ground handlers and others on the airport site, ACI said.

Launch of the program, which is voluntary, saw 31 European airports accounting for 26% of passenger traffic in Europe applying to become accredited, with more applications expected shortly.
